    Over the past month, I have been piloting a wireless portable computer cart in my classroom. There have been many hurdles along the way; however, empowering each student by giving them a computer has been enlightening and exhilarating. The rewards are well worth all the time and effort I have put into piloting them.

    Previous research has shown that disfluency - the subjective experience of difficulty asso- ciated with cognitive operations - leads to deeper processing. Two studies explore the extent to which this deeper processing engendered by disfluency interventions can lead to improved memory performance. Study 1 found that information in hard-to-read fonts was better remembered than easier to read information in a controlled laboratory setting. Study 2 extended this finding to high school classrooms. The results suggest that superficial changes to learning materials could yield significant improvements in educational outcomes.

    I found these at BestBuy when I was I looking for an alternative to ear buds for my little ones. What caught my eye was the reviewers comment about a teacher considering adding them to her classroom supply list. I found them at MacMall for $9.99 with free shipping http://www.macmall.com/p/5784594?dpno=7932923&source=zwb12166 "Have you considered", pitching this to some of your teachers? ;-)
