In UE2 this morning, the teachers were discussing "Energy in Action: The construction of ideas in multiple modes" (E. Close et al). Scott related especially strongly to the idea of observing physical action in the classroom. It turns out he has a theater background and uses many of what he understands as theater practices to facilitate interactions among his students.
When the data becomes editable, I'll create the clip -- all I can do now is watch it (because of the file conversion problem we're having), but that's still fun. You can watch it too by going onto the server: It's UE2 110629 0828 T7, 22:50-25:30. I especially like his action for "closing a discussion" at 24:35: arms outstretched, brings arms together and closes pair of fists, "zzzhhhh-kom!"
