Brain Based Learning; Behind

Jensen
The

accuracy of the information on the Jensen website that we

have previously looked at shows lists of misleading facts and
products around teaching methods. While some of the
information provided may show these products are useful and
helpful, below the surface there isnt much to work with. In
order to gain more information on each of the products
customers would have to pay for further knowledge. In order to
find out more about the background of this company we would
have to search further outside of the website itself. By going
further into the information that is provided we can find that
this is not a credible source for teachers to be using and the
company behind this website should form more of a basis of
what should really be important to show. It is going to be hard
to trust the products if they are not willing to show what is
behind each of the products shown.
