The Metiri Group's report disputes the widely debated Cone of Experience theory, which says each of us learns 10 percent of what we read, 20 percent of what we hear, 30 percent of what we see, 50 percent of what we hear and see, 70 percent of what we say or write, and 90 percent of what we say as we do a thing. (The rampant misrepresentation of researcher Edgar Dale's valid model of classifying learning styles is discussed in this entry in the blog of educational consultant Will Thalheimer.) After an extensive search, the report's authors were unable to find any empirical evidence supporting this breakdown. Contrary to popular opinion, research shows that lessons in which students interact with material, rather than passively absorb it, are not always better.
McKenzie Mauigoa on 02 Feb 09I really think this looks like a good idea especially at BYU since youtube is blocked this was you could show things that you post, with out the possibility of them being blocked.
I want to add this bookmark to my page because it is a learning network created to bring teachers ideas together. It is like youtube but instead it contains videos on lesson plans, teaching strategies, and current events all relevant to teachers.
