Recently I read http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2007/09/is-text-only-enough-for-todays-students.html. This feed talks about how writing may not be enought. The most common way of communicating is through writing but how are we supposed to expand if we don't try new things?
Different people learn in different ways. The most common type of learning I hear about today is visual learning. I think I learn the best this way, as well as several other people. I get bored with to much writing or typing and usually don't get into it. I focus much better with visual learning and communicating thigs through words.
Text is probably the most boring ways to learn things. Learning things in an enviroment of people with everybody participating and getting other peoples opinions can help get the attention of others and also embed it in their brains.
I think that we need to expand our horizons and try new teaching methods. More communication through others can open new doors and new learning techniques for everyone.

Good work summarizing the point of the article but spend some more time and giving specific examples as well as realting it to class.
Also, link the article through text not jsut cutting and pasting the link into your response.
