This preso by Tim Chang on gamification is so bang on. http://t.co/V2fdsN7v. Any talent management strategy must include game dynamics.
Great video.

Google launched an open source course building web application for the growing list of K-12 and big-name universities developing online classes.
This is a big deal! Will have to watch for more details and feedback about it…

YouTube makes it easy to find instructional videos on practically any topic. There are 18,600,000 search results for “how to” on the site at the moment. Obviously not all of them are relevant, but that’s a staggering number.
This sounds wild, but it may be the next “best thing”…

There are a lot of great teachers out there. But what, exactly, makes a teacher a great teacher? Is their approach to their students and their classroom different?
This is courtesy of http://www.topteachingcolleges.net/great-teachers/. Just because I’m a huge proponent of e-learning and m-learning doesn’t mean that I’m anti-teacher. Quite the contrary! I’m a teacher’s kid, and all my siblings and I have had some sort of training or teaching position in our lifetimes in different ways. To quote my very wise taekwondo instructor, “The best way to learn is to teach.” I hope teachers never go away, as the really good ones are instrumental in helping all kids learn to fulfill their potential. ;

There have been several well-publicised stories of schools bringing iPads into the classroom.
I saw this thanks to @courosa on Twitter. I can understand the point of this, which is that umping on the bandwagon without doing the homework first on if it fits your business (or school) needs is just not a good idea. I know that before I bought my smartphone and my iPad, I did a lot of research. I was willing not to get iDevices in favor of PC-friendlier devices. However, I couldn’t find what I needed in non-Apple products. I am a dichotomy; I’m very pro-Windows and like my PC laptop for doing the heavy duty lifting and running the show, but I love my Apple products for their mobility. But I knew what I was getting into. To me, it sounds like this school’s tech advisor didn’t do their job properly.
