  • Despite their green reputation, the report suggests today's young people are far less environmentally minded than previous generations.

      I think there is growing support for this type of approach to learning/teaching. For me it is a pleasant vision to move from high stakes testing - to more continual process based learning. I see a big role here for gaming mechanic design principles. Good scan hit..
