Ringing chimes (chapter 4)

     The author of the book gave us a great example of presentation to a group of audience. As he explains first we need to get all the attention and them make a presentation that will not just be heard by will impact the learner. Now that we live in a fast pace world we need to make our point across as entertaining as possible and in a short amount of time. Like the Velcro we need to make sure our information will stick to the learner.

     I do believe in most of this philosophy, especially because I teach kindergarten level. Not only do my children need to be entertained, but their attention span is way shorted then the older children. There has to be many transitions to keep them focused and learning the material as we move from point A to point B. Though do not give me wrong these children are capable of storing and learning more material then we think, especially if it is taught in a way that attracts their attention.
