Love your creative common entry…but I love all of your program…hope the latest CBC cuts don't impact your presence! Your programming rocks! I use your feeds and content with my high school and my colleagues in BC.
in that UK study, where the kids whose suppressed fidgeting resulted in poorer memory skills… i'd say that these 'suppressed fidgeters' were probably too *busy* trying to 'remember' not to fidget – whilst paying less attention to (forgetting) what they were supposed to be learning in the first place.
Thanks literateowl! We hear from a fair number of educators who use Spark, which we love!
