I've started to gather teaching supplies to take to India. So far I have a good collection of visual illusions on laminated cards, plastic brain models, a set of neuroanatomy posters, blind spot testers, vials for the neurotransmission game, magnifying glasses, Benham top inserts, comparative neuroanatomy cards, and cranial nerve testing cards. And this is only the beginning. There is still much to do. For each lesson, I want to have interactive, hands-on activities to illustrate concepts, so the supplies I will bring will grow considerably.I plan to purchase an inexpensive suitcase to transport these supplies. I'll leave the suitcase and all of the supplies in India when I leave.
Hey Eric, lots of hands-on activities will make an exciting course. The more sensory modalities you can engage, the better the learning experience should turn out to be.
ReplyDeleteI was planning to order a plastic brain model. Is there a supplier/model that you would recommend?
Thanks,
Evgeni

ReplyDeleteYou can find a very inexpensive ($13.50) plastic brain model at Delta-Education. This model ("FOSS Brain Model") looks like the one in the photograph above. Search: brain -- at:

There are many other choices, but most are more expensive. I have a list of other places where you can purchase models at:
