Photo from Pixnio One of the most important lessons I learnt right at the start of my career in education was that teaching was not about 'telling' but about communication. There was a constant exchange of thoughts and ideas around the content, rather than a one way stream of information. How arrogant that must have seemed.

Photo from Flickr I'm fascinated by story telling, and I often wonder why TV series are so compelling. The writers ensure that enough information is provided so that you can decide whether you want to fall in love with the character (hero), or learn to hate them (villain). This is especially so when I'm binge watching a DVD boxed set.

It’s catching on as a way to begin working more effectively with students and it can be a great goal to have in place as you begin exploring using video. Now, face to face time is much more effective because you spend time solving problems, not learning how to use a program. Can’t see the embedded video? Watch it on YouTube.

How it can be applied in education As Norman suggests, when information to perform a task is present within the design of an object, the need to learn it is reduced. This can be a desirable effect if the student is required to learn something deeply and reason about its significance. Maslow Hierarchy of Human Needs 27.

One social anthropologist in particular might have had a great deal to say about the Facebook effect.
