The best education may come from exchange -- what I know about the relationship of elaborative encoding to memory and learning led me to preach interaction at countless educational technology conferences over the years. But there were some generations where students sat still and absorbed what they could, and where respecting a teacher meant quietly listening. I don't know if that's really respect if it means you don't learn things as fully, but I think there are people who feel that it is. And, let's face it, it's tough to be a teacher to a class who isn't paying attention and isn't interested.<BR/><BR/>I think the kind of cheese is actually important. Isn't that the juncture where you ask what is meant by cheesy? And why? Isn't it an interesting question to explore?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'm taking this all too seriously.. I definitely agree with setting fire to the bucket of cheese. I've got matches!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709591182852463705noreply@blogger.com
