Using Blockbuster Movies to Teach

I thought the article by Goldman presented a pretty cool idea: the use of an Indiana Jones movie to demonstrate a scientific problem to students. It's one of those: "why didn't I think of that?" moments! It seems so obvious, first, that presenting problems, whether through the method of PBL, or through Anchored Instruction, and then challenging students to solve the problem through research, trial, and error is an excellent format. We already know that it is extremely important to make students' learning relevant to their lives. Putting these two worlds together - movies and problem solving - seems like a natural connection. How fun to be in a history or science class and get to watch a movie about which you as the student will have to learn more about and solve a problem that is presented?
For the Anchored Instruction model, I think the video aspect of it brings it to a modern-day type of model. It was, after all, developed in 1990, one of the more current models we've studied. I continue to believe that these models that we are studying should be used sparingly and not adopted as a sole method of teaching/learning. Every student and teacher needs a bit of variety!
