That only maximizes time for the teacher. If the emphasis is on learning, then the learners need downtime. My point? School systems would do well to shape their day with dead time surrounding intermittent activities. @Ben—I think one of the fallacies of teaching is that all time should be filled with information transmission.

I'm launching a series on how to make communication stick, and this is my first point: tell stories. Stories get stuck, facts get forgotten. Awesome!

I believe in fact. I also believe, as you have demonstrated in using the two to engage, in all this to prove a point and make info more pallatable. There are differences in the context of school (we are there for most of the day with a variety of subjects and for sometimes years) and a movie (where you are there for a few hours). Yet if you want to get a message through... then you need to think about the presentation in writing, video or any other form! Thanks I believe in entertainment. I believe in fact.
