Thank you so much for posting this! This guy is just great. He's the author of an article about learning modalities (http://www.aft.org/pubs-reports/american_educator/issues/summer2005/cogsci.htm) that I have posted here frequently. I wish more people would pay attention to what he has to say. He's a real voice of reason (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QITnobaU8EM).

Thanks! I can see how I'll be modifying how I teach.

He is terrific. Check out his article about students "remembering to forget". It's great stuff.
