I don't think there's much evidence you'll learn a lot that way, and certainly not 10 times as much as someone who hasn't been turned into a "spicy meatball" by a social media addiction.

> Give em 30 to 60 small clips of high interest action!

That's such a glib remark. How do you propose to make 30 to 60 small clips per teaching hour? There's over 1200 of those per year. Shortest path through school is 12 years. Good luck making 500,000 of those clips for "what's the capital of Kenia?"

And I'm fairly sure that once you're exposed to them, they'll get boring pretty quickly, and the effect will be nil.
