Anyone want to put this one through the Willingham heuristic?  Also, anyone going to show your students cute images before the SOL exams? :)

I WILL be showing my 7th grade students pictures of cute animals before the SOL. I totally agree that looking at cute images makes one better able to concentrate......better able to concentrate at looking at more time-wasting, cute images until you pull yourself away from the wormhole of forwards from an elderly aunt. This is an example of when I would take Willingham's advice and look at the science of the study, is "cuteness" objective? P.S. the 7th graders are studying life science so the pictures are related to that, not because I think it will gain them a few points on the SOL.
