However, her presentation at MACUL was still engaging and encouraged me to consider the impact of visual learning. Perhaps what captured my attention the most was that there are 1,000,000 fibers from each eye to the brain whereas there are just 30,000 from the ear to the brain.

I shared some more thoughts about this session on the Muskegon ISD tech integration blog - see the Multimedia category (blogs.muskegonisd.org/techintegration).
