Thanks for those links. I honestly hadn't looked too hard at what he advocates because what he says generally matches up with my experience and I've never had more than maybe 20% control over what I teach and how I teach it.

What do you teach?

I have taught computer science 2, intro to discrete structures (comp sci intro math class), and college algebra. I no longer teach anything, though, because I got a nice job with the university's IT department that pays a hell of a lot better and leaves me with a lot more free time.
