"If You Love Something, Set it Free"

Sometimes I must just share something that amuses me.  This cartoon makes me giggle.   It was the Zits cartoon from July 27, 2011.  I will be showing this to my students and asking them to make connections to course content.  Just off the top of my head, I can connect it to brain and neuroscience, social psychology, cognition, and motivation.  I'll let our kids find the specifics. :)

Teens and Memory Cartoon

I saw this today and immediately thought of psychology. Of course, I look at nearly everything and ask myself if it will fit into class. With this cartoon, I thought of memory, rehearsal, encoding, and, of course, interference--specifically retroactive interference, the kind where new information impedes the ability for old information to be there. While it may not fit exactly, it is a fun connection.
