Kids brains are different.

Television commercials shrinking from 60 to 1 second.

Radio shrinking from 5 seconds to 1 second

Ads in airports - kiosks run 5 second ads

Get attention with short linked videos - then move to lesson with more reflection.

We have technology to create short videos (6 seconds) about Warren G. Harding. Why was he elected president?

In old days, needed water, industrial revolution needed fuel, today we need images.

Showing Cable in Classroom (cic.org) - sponsored by Comcast.

Kids IQs are rising, technologies have changed, from phones to ovens. More problem based learning.

    Hey V,

    Just a note that the Cable in the Classroom link is ciconline.org. Thanks for the blog, missing my Illinois roots.
