This"brain based" business is a money making fad. Education is, unfortunately, susceptable to one fad after another. "Brain based" sounds very good, but it is just chit chat and repackaging of things repeated before. Behavior and the basic principles of behavior should be the focus. Teachers (and trainers) can not see the brain, neurons, etc.... they *can* see attendance to instruction, accuracy, and other forms of behavior, the *can* manipulate material, consequences, and antecedents.

@EducationIllustrated : It seems that you've just supported one of the points of the video, not detracted from it. Of course the tug-o-war is different from jogging with a partner, and that's precisely why one must avoid jumping carelessly between seemingly-analogous examples.

I find this video a learning exeriance, now watch me type a really long comment about something off topic. I would say that you are still reading but what would the point be in saying that when i know you still are, and i like that fact that some one got bored enough to read this xD I find it helpful at times like these to say that your true fear is, POkeMON!!

The idea is good but this professor Willingham should be selling insomnia medicine.... I had to watch this video in four different sessions, I simply couldn't endure the boredom.

@ctskelly true but sometimes it's hard when you got substantial reason to say something instead of trying to be politically correct. it's easy to come off too boldly.
It's really sad that the sound is so bad. The Angry Filmmaker says that sound is more important than the visuals.

@gbleem Couldn't agree with you more. :( This is totally a garage-band, funded-out-of-pocket enterprise, so my mic is lousy.
