<p>I just finished ED 111 and looking at interactive education helps me to think how I recreate the curriculum I teach as well as the curriculum I help other faculty teach in a more appealing manner. Shorter presentations with students doing more of the work and incorporating other styles into the classroom help to increase retention and true learning. I have to admit, I can only sit so long with a lecture before zoning out, my students have an even shorter attention span.</p>
