Interesting list of questions Marie shared with the humanities department. Could we use some of these to guide our Quests/FABlab experiences?

Andrea Beardsley showed me this resource today and said it's an awesome, free tool she uses specifically for searching, borrowing and tweaking and/or creating and saving rubrics for her classes.

Save time Take already existing videos from Youtube, Khan Academy, Crash Course, etc. or upload your own.

A good list of questions to help guide students during FABLab and Quests.

Interesting way to teach students how to give and receive feedback. The ground rules could be adapted to almost any grade level.
