  • Abstract
    This paper explores the effects of incorporating different modes of learning on neural development and suggests methods of maximizing the impact of hands-on activities designed by K-12 educators. The influence of relatively new technologies such as the internet and smart phones on problem solving is considered. Some examples of design activities that are built on holistic learning are presented.
