Off topic? Chaos and learning

I keep wondering if there is a link between literacy rates and the use of chaotic based, nonlinear learning methods.

Found this article interesting Chaos in the classroom

Finland appears to use a student self select novel reading system and is consistent in its high ranking of student literacy.

With our system and results are we barking up the wrong linear tree?

Anyone got any other info / thoughts / comments?

Yodio - Roman - Week 2

Dialogue Group Week 2

Ashley's Response--Week Two

Elli's Week 2 Yodio - Group R

New WUMAT Tech Support Page

Just a quick note to notify everyone of our new WUMAT Tech Support Page.


The first two questions are:


1) How do I resize an image so it’s not so large to upload, or send in an email,or insert into a Google Doc or Presentation, etc.


2) How do I embed my Yodio into a Blog Post?


I'm sure many questions will follow!


Your Yodio presentations are just wonderful. Lots of smiling faces, and right down to the very efficient Play-Bar-only.  This is by far one of my favorite productivity tools. 

By the way -> you can now say you created a Podcast. And, all one needs is a cell phone and Yodio Acct.   Congrats.

Barry.
