Got the trial version and it is AWESOME. Well, the kanji and particle part that is. The katakana and hiragana part get boring if you know them all already.

I agreed with most of what you said, even though I'm a PC user xD. But I'd have to disagree with you about the text, I would have thought that windows has a more natural look then mac.

Re: Creating “Flashbulb Memories” in your Teaching

In terms of lessons...I remember last year, in seventh grade, my science teacher showed us the difference between different kinds of gases by lighting them in a florescent bulb. And this in Science class, one class period makes a movie on the subject the other classes are learning about traditionally. We were the first to do this, and it was really fun.

But one thing I remember the most, not really related to how a lesson is taught, but anyways, was that in fourth grade my teacher made a point system. So if you received a certain amount of points on each assignment depending on what grade you got on it. Then at the end of the month she opened up TIAS-The Incredible Award Store ( we voted on the name....it was my idea...:B ANYWAYS) and you could spend your points on things there. That was really cool, it made me want to get good grades.

That's awesome! I looked at the site and it looks like all the people really have fun planting the rice. It's probably a great community project for them.
