power to the point or key to the note

I have started formatting a series of keynote slides and realising that it is possible to miss a lot out.

"Nothing exists independently. Not a single molecule, not a thought."
Anne Michaels The Winter Vault Bloomsbury, 2009, p.74

Still problematic for me is how to integrate the established voices in educational theory. I'm reluctant to go to a beginners guide, or wikipedia.

On youtube is a fantastic video of Gilles Deleuze teaching at Vincennes in 1980. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ndNVjS0svI It shows a classroom in action. There is little eye contact, the students are obviously using their EARS, they are listening. Deleuze barely takes a breath. He is in the middle of the room, students are close and intimate.
What is truely fantastic is that most of the students have tape recorders (and cigarettes). They are recording the class. New Media are not so new.
