    This is a free videogame creation tool. How can you use this with your students? Will this pull in some of your students to create an alternate assessment? Instead of write a paper, or do a diaroma, create a video game that represents your idea. I love this stuff.

  • Consider letting students create teacher PD as part of their technology education program.
  • Move towards a model of embedded professional development.  Binge professional development that happens in one day rarely creates sustainable, system wide change.  Move toward embedded programs like the 23 things that involve teachers in their own pd and requires them to research, reflect, and use the tools.
