    A very thoughtful perspective on how curriculum should be defined. I think it's much more practical, but my question is could this be done effectively without a drastic change to the title of courses etc.

    I would really love to make this a school-wide 'thing' for getting stuff done. Have everything just shut down for 25 minutes for a Pomodoro - awesome.

    I'd be on board with that, how do we generate some momentum. I've used this myself and with a few students in the past for tutoring and it works really well.

    Still not sure what it means to 'gamify' your class? This is a great infographic with some of the most common elements of successful games, and what they might look like in a classroom setting.

    There's no doubt that our students experience the world differently than we do because of their relationship with technology. This article explores whether or not that different relationship is beneficial or not.

    Seth Godin is one of, if not the, most read business blogger - mostly because he's sharp and says a lot with a little. This is his book on education. If you like Sir Ken Robinson, you'll like this.

    Connected Learning is a big step from a model in which content forms the backbone of our planning. It seems like this is what our EE is trying to be. Should it play a bigger role in our vision of education?

    Regardless of how you feel about it, our kids have different expectations about education than we did. How much of what you do in your classroom is based on old models?

    Please read this. We've been focusing our assessment efforts on grading, and vice versa. Is grading really how we want to show that we value 'responsible action'?

    I like the idea. Gives more flexibility, increases the student buy in etc.

    Those of you that are thinking about moving (or if you've already moved) 'content delivery' outside the classroom (i.e., flipped instruction), this is a nice list of 'best practices' to use as a checklist for doing it well. It's more general pedagogy that specific tasks, but great advice just the same.
