Added Jenise's contribution into the body of the article.
I would just add that I believe there is great value in methods of teaching that actually give you practice while using your hands. I believe there is research that shows that using your hands actually helps the brain to think better. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/hand.htm I also believe that when the mind experiences the sensation of doing something, whether it be flying a plane in a simulation or laughing at failure in an improv game, the same neural pathways are created as are created in real life. Thus games and simulations can be amazingly effective teaching tools. I don't think we've even begun to explore all they may be capable of accomplishing.
Added "But Can Knitting Students 'Really' Learn this Way?" segment.
