Always good to remember design thinking in instructional design.
I saw this scooped on ScoopIt twice by content curators I follow, so figured it MUST be good, and it is. Cammy Bean is one of the foremost experts on ID design these days, and she did an excellent job here! Definitely worth a look!

Forty years of research says yes, games are effective learning tools. People learn from games…and they will learn MORE from a game than from other forms of learning.
This is a really good article that breaks down all the elements of effective game-based learning.

“The first rule of Web 3.0 is to stop calling it that. At least, that’s Tim O’Reilly’s preference… Although O’Reilly takes issue with the nomenclature, he does acknowledge — along with others who care deeply about the intersection of technology, teaching and learning — that the web is in the midst of an evolutionary cycle that’s likely to spark profound changes in education. There are common threads in their predictions: widely available videos as educational tools, the blending of the physical and digital worlds, and a web that’s capable of applying context to its processes. Many of these advancements aren’t new, but they’re becoming increasingly ubiquitous and far-reaching, transforming existing processes and offering new insights into everything from health to marketing to learning.”
This has always been said to be where web is going–education is the next revolution, especially mobile education. Excellent article.

Structured content is a lot like a new closet. No amount of organization will work until you put everything in its rightful place.
This is a fantastic article that my new friend, Val Swisher, wrote about understanding structured content management. She is a marvelous speaker that I saw at Adobe Day at Lavacon, and spent some time with her afterwards. She’s a creative and smart person, and knows a lot about this subject! I love her analogy with the closet in this article! I definitely encourage you to read this article, because it’s a great breakdown of how the whole concept works.
Happy reading!

Two humanoid robots have been helping teach autistic children at a school in Birmingham.
From experience, I think this is true! Those on the spectrum tend to have an easier time with technology and adapting and utilizing technology than those deemed “typical”.
