       Well, there was a ton of great information in here.  Much of it
       was a good refresher for ideas, and there were many new things I
       had not considered before.  I liked that there were so many tie
       ins to learning languages - both foreign and our own.  I guess
       what it all boils down to is what we have all known for our
       entire careers: Lecture and writing notes off the board
       certainly have a place in education, but they shouldn't be the
       dominant ways we instruct.  There are so many cool and exciting
       ways to present information and to work with kids.  These
       activities take more time to set up and to teach, which may be
       why it seems easier sometimes to go back to a lecture/notetaking
       format.  But the for the benefit of our students, (and for pure
       teaching enjoyment,) visually enhanced lessons are the way to
       go.
