visual world

After all that whining about the problem my hope is that using internet blogs, wikis... could be part of the solution. Kids today are more visual and learn with images and interaction. (Can you say art class?)

TV, internet and video is so much a part of their life. They read in small chunks, see short bits of video and connect the dots. A talking head in class isn't going to be as captivating as being involved in the discussion the way they can be on a blog.
