I thought the teaching ideas in this article were very interesting.  I
wish some of my college professors had implemented some of them like
creating podcasts for students to read before class and having
discussions during class.  I found the biggest problem I had during
college was paying attention during class or, if the class was truly
boring, even showing up for class.  On the other hand, I loved classes
that allowed me to explore my own thoughts through class discussions
and debates so I always came to class.  In addition, I can't believe
students complained about this switch in teaching style but I guess
some people do not like change and/or to participate during class.

My only problem with is article is, could these teaching styles be
used with younger students?  How young?
