Quotes from the episode

I’ve also started creating these little quiz questions in them, but they’re not hard. They’re just to keep their attention going.
-M. C. Flux

Many students seem to enjoy this and actually learn well from it, so I keep doing it.
-M. C. Flux

I think these students struggle so much with attention that bringing them back with a really simple question just helps.
-M. C. Flux

The fact that students have shorter attention spans is still something we need to pay attention to. I don’t think it’s as bad as people say, but it is actually still a big piece of how I design instruction.
-M. C. Flux

A lot of students are used to rewatching things that they enjoy.
-M. C. Flux
