Ringing Chimes - Chapter 4

"A minute is along time"? (Burkman, 2011)  We are living in a different time where we don't have to wait for a letter, they don't have to wait 30 minutes for dinner, and they don't want to have to think.  They want to do something anf they want it now.  With so many technological advances, we have the advantage of getting things done faster.  The disadvantage here is lack of attention and loss of critical thinkers.  Now the teacher must get their attention and make the lesson stick.

When I read the acrononym CHIMES,it reminded me of a book I read by Dr. Rich Allen, Green Light Classrooms.  He also mentions various interactive stratgeies to keep the students/audience engaged in the learning process.
