Couros is a social media monster and the Canadian education system is blessed to have him share so much for free.

I still find it strange that the hot areas in education revolve around innovation. Art has been around for 50 000 years, but I guess now is the time to formalize it.

Once they’ve pitched the idea to their peers and myself, they build and present it to their target audience.

At Holy Trinity School, we’re also wrestling to implement a personalized learning environment for ALL students (K-12). I’m currently running a game-based science class for gr 3-6. There’s lots of choice, badge opportunities and even bonus levels. I’m happy to share some successes and lots of failures with you at our next F2F. Cheers.

I complete agree with you. Having forums that foster, nurture and even massage ideas are essential for bringing hunches into action. Cohort 21 is a perfect example.
