The auditory nerve transmits sound to the brain and is composed of about 30,000 fibers. Contrast that with the optic nerve which sends visual signals to the brain through 1 million fibers (Burmark 2002). Basically, you’ve got a dial-up connection from the ear to the brain and broadband from the eye to the brain.

Visuals, when combined with other multimedia, provide individuals with a competitive voice. One that can be heard. One that can be measured. One that says “here I am, and here’s what I think, here is what I have to contribute.

This is the Paly Voice, an online newspaper produced by the students of Palo Alto High School. Just a cursory glance says a lot here about the depth and the savvy of these students. Great example to follow.

I like this one for its simple use of polling data to make projections. As John Becker said, they take a baseball stats approach to the election.

This is a free videogame creation tool. How can you use this with your students? Will this pull in some of your students to create an alternate assessment? Instead of write a paper, or do a diaroma, create a video game that represents your idea. I love this stuff.
