CCKo8 - Emotions and connectivism

I find this subject fascinating.

In my classes, water cooling contacts, chats and presentations of a subject (and they are very technical matters) , I try to involve emotional representations (Histories of the old days, incidents relating to lack of skills - anecdotes after all) .

Adding situational context to the content helps to connect item of knowledge and reinforces memories. 

John Medina http://www.brainrules.net/pdf/JohnMedina_PsychTimes_May08.pdf,  explained  it very clear . Thanks Diego Leal, for reminding me of this .
