Ken,
Interesting comparison that demonstrates how education is always changing. Technology has created a whole new way of engaging students, and whenever we can achieve that, class is robably going to be better. Another copmparison. Socrates told stories. I tell stories, and find nearly always students will listen and engage with a story about the work setting. I think it's something innate about the human nature.Some things change and some older (non-technical) methods still work fine.
