What if You Only Had 5 Minutes to Inspire a Student?
Peter DeWitt's post on Edweek is about Mark Barnes's The Five-Minute Teacher. The whole post is certainly worth your read but this little one might just be a notebook keeper!
"Highly motivated students may be better equipped to listen to lengthy lectues and 30-minute lessons, but they'll learn the material equally well, and perhaps better, if they investigate the content after instruction that lasts five minutes or less. Reluctant learners are prone to become disruptive as soon as a lesson surpasses the 300-second mark. In fact, you'll probably lose them much faster if you don't engage them immediately."
