Subliminal Advertising in Teaching and Learning

I was wondering if the characteristics of subliminal advertising might have implications for teaching and learning.

The impetus for this question is this excellent You Tube video in which to marketeers are influenced in their ad strategy by strategically placed subliminal visuals. Take 6 minutes to watch what happens to these two pro ad people as they create and idea and then see how their ideas was influenced through subliminal messages.

I wonder what sort of subliminal messages the the classroom or school campus is sending our students. It it one that locks them into a certain way of thinking or using the same visual over and over again. Or is your room or school campus sending messages that help to subliminal messages of learning or creativity.

Does what students hear and see on a subliminal level influence their learning and their thinking? Probably. But, can we as teachers, educators, trainers, pastors, etc. harness the power of subliminal messages?  Or, should we even attempt it. Is there too much downside from thinking seriously about subliminal messages.

Will we one day come to see that power of subliminal messages and even begin to plan purposefully to use it in our lessons, training, or sermons?  What benefits might this bring? What dangers might it unearth?

Subliminal Messages as a learning and teaching tool. That is Education Innovation.
