You have included some great thoughts and resources. I just ordered Liz Kleinrock’s book Start Here Start Now and I am looking forward to delving into it.

It was a great post to read as it included past, present and future work which I sometimes think we forget about when we always look forward.

How much fun could we have planning a failure themed assembly!? Surely part of modelling failure as educators is shedding our inhibitions and fear of failure.
