Colleen,
I agree and use humor a lot in my classes as I teach a required subject that students must pass to get their state certificates. I try to make the course valuable to them while keeping them engaged and enjoying learning.

I think that this is important as well. A little humor can reduce anxiety levels and in return enhance learning.
I think humor is important, too. I have had some activities where the students have laughed a lot but were able to apply the information and get a lot out of it.
Terry,
Good way to get the students settled into the course for that session. They can relax a bit and enjoy a laugh before they dig into the content. Sets the stage for learning success.
