Don't worry . . . doodling is GOOD for the brain!
A recent study* on doodling showed that the doodlers actually retained more information than the non-doodlers. To get the most out of your learners, put a pen and doodle pad in front of them and don't misinterpret doodling for daydreaming!
The Doodle Pad is specially designed with circles, squares, geometric shapes and letters that are great "fill-'er-ins" as well as other interestingly-shaped lines perfect for doodlers who like to trace and embellish. 25 pads/set. Each 4.25" X 5.5" pad has 25 sheets.
Volume discounts available. Unit Prices shown refer to 1 pack of 25 pads.
*Study by Jackie Andrade, Applied Cognitive Psychology, University of Plymouth, UK, Feb 2009. With a group of 40 people, she tested the impact of doodling on concentration and memory. Participants were asked to listen to a boring telephone message with names of people as well as some irrelevant information. The doodling group was given paper with shapes - alternating rows of squares and circles - and the control group was given lined paper. The doodlers doodled, the control group didn't. In the end, the doodlers were found to have 29% better recall of the names than the non-doodlers.

Plan your training for maximum impact!
Transform the way you teach, train, and facilitate learning with Angela Agresto's Brain Building Blueprints Flip Book—a dynamic, easy-to-use course development tool that simplifies lesson planning while ensuring engagement, interactivity, and retention. Whether you're a corporate trainer, classroom teacher, instructor, facilitator, or coach, this innovative flip book provides a brain-friendly approach to designing impactful learning experiences in just minutes.
Built around the 4Cs Brain-Based Instructional Design Model (inspired by master trainer Sharon Bowman), this flip book gives you instant access to ready-to-use learning activities that work for any subject, skill level, or learning environment—live or virtual.
4Cs BRAIN-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL
The 4Cs Model is a brain-based approach that enhances learning by following the natural way the brain processes and retains information -- by incorporating movement, talking, images, writing, breaks, and more. This flip book organizes activities according to these four stages, helping you effortlessly design effective training sessions.
C1 – CONNECTIONS
Before introducing new content, help learners connect to each other, to the instructor, and to their prior knowledge on the topic. This step is critical because activating prior knowledge makes learning more meaningful and increases retention.
C2 – CONCEPTS
Introduce new concepts and material through multi-sensory, interactive activities. Be sure to keep instruction short, engaging, and varied, use visuals, storytelling, movement, or hands-on experiences, and make learning fun and memorable. After all, the brain learns best when information is experienced in multiple ways.
C3 – CONCRETE PRACTICE
Reinforce new knowledge by allowing learners to practice using their new skills. Structure activities that allow learners to engage in review activities, teach others what they've learned, and applying the learning to new situations. By using new knowledge, brain connections and retention become stronger.
C4 – CONCLUSIONS
Wrap up learning with reflection and application activities. Include activities through which learners can summarize key takeaways, evaluate and celebrate learning, and develop action plans for real-world application. Each of these will help solidify learning and make it stick in the long-term.
HOW TO USE THE FLIP BOOK
Using Brain Building Blueprints is as simple as flipping through the pages!
- Step 1: Identify which 4Cs stage you need an activity for—Connections, Concepts, Concrete Practice, or Conclusions.
- Step 2: Flip through the corresponding section and choose an activity that fits your learners and setting.
- Step 3: Follow the step-by-step instructions, complete with timing estimates and material lists (if needed).
- Step 4: Implement the activity and watch your learners engage, interact, and retain more effectively!
EASY-TO-FACILITATE BRAIN BASED LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Every activity is designed to align with how the brain learns best. For each activity described in the flip book, you'll find:
- Clear Step-by-Step Instructions – Includes detailed timing estimates so you can plan efficiently.
- Easy Set-Up & Materials List – If any materials are needed, they're clearly listed for hassle-free preparation.
- Time Estimates for Easy Planning – More than 50% of the activities take less than 5 minutes to implement!
The 4Cs Model is brain-based, meaning it enhances retention, engagement, and application of knowledge. Whether you're leading a workshop, running a classroom, or facilitating training, this flip book ensures you deliver memorable and effective learning experiences—with ease!
Take the stress out of lesson planning and create powerful, brain-friendly learning experiences with Brain Building Blueprints!

Brain science tell us that people learn more when they write things down. Rather than just sitting and listening, students also learn more when teachers and facilitators slow down and let everyone think of an answer... not just the eager beavers who are first to raise their hand or shout out an answer. Personal whiteboards, a.k.a. Answer Boards, Quick Response Boards, or Briteboards, make it easy for teachers and trainers to get 100% learner participation.
Neon Briteboards are a huge hit with students and educators, as every individual gets to write an answer, cast a vote, ask questions, and offer opinions.
INCLUDES
- 30 Briteboards (6 each of 5 different colors)
- 30 Mini Felt Erasers
BRITEBOARD FEATURES
- Easy to hold handles
- Large writing area: 6" x 7.75"
- 2-sided dry-erase, wipe-on/wipe-off surface
- Super sturdy and durable
- Clean up easily
TONS OF USES
- Casting votes
- Conducting icebreaker activities
- Answering questions
- Rating or ranking items
- Sharing game answers
- PLUS: the 5 colors lend themselves very well to team building activities!

This combo package comes with 30 Briteboards (6 each of all 5 colors) Each felted mini-eraser is 2.5" x 1.25" x .65", and works great with dry-erase markers.
** TIPS **
By calling on the first person to answer, everyone else in the room stops thinking on their own. The beauty of Answer Boards is that they allow every person to think and write an answer. Consider these tips to maximize use of your Quick Answer Boards:
- Give people ample time to think of answers and write them down.
- Consider “Stand-pair-share” to get people moving and engaged in a meeting or learning event.
- Use Whiteboards for ice-breakers and energizers. Ask each person to jot down a goal, concern, or favorite quote. Or, for instance, ask people to write where they're from, then find the person who lives closest/farthest from them.
- Live and remote learners can all use Answer Boards
- Whiteboards are also fun for voting or entertaining kids on long car rides.
