Hi Jez,
I followed your FriendFeed request and found this.
I agree, stories are at the heart of good teaching – and, if properly planned – learning. I regularly use a variety of small anecdotes to emphasise important points.
Thanks for this.

I’m glad the post struck a chord with you, and I hope you’ll be back in the future.
