Very true, Drome, that's the point! I do know quite a few people who would actually prefer to just look at the slides on their own and never attend class, because they don't need to, but this deals with a much deeper problem in the way education works. Thanks for your comment. Haha. Very true, Drome, that’s the point!

One of our AP teachers has been using pod casts for his lectures that he loads onto his web site. His kids report that they are so helpful. They load them on to their MP3 player and listen at their convenience. He gets a super high pass rate on the AP tests, and so many students clammoring for his class. I'm going to figure it out for my lanugage students. Love this post. One of our AP teachers has been using pod casts for his lectures that he loads onto his web site.

If the teacher doesn't give me all of the slides, then I will have to go to class and hear the lecture!! But wait!

I've never been a fan of handing out your slides, ESPECIALLY before the presentation. It's like handing out the script to your movie as the audience enters the theater. Notebooks were created for taking notes, not printed slides. Not to mention, having the slides in hand won't help retention, as you point out. Either they're listening to you (the presenter) or they're not. Brain Rules is a fantastic book, btw. Nice to see the reference. Nathan,
