One School's Experiment in Gaming

http://vimeo.com/55550981As you can see, the Martin J.

Vlogging What You Preach

I was meeting on Friday with Andrea Hernandez, our Director of Teaching & Learning (formally "21st Century Learning" - we are trying to message that "21st Century Learning" is synonymous with "Teaching & Learning"), who chided me for not role modeling what was expected of all our faculty.  Namely, where was my evidence for my own summer learning!I blogged, …See More

Jewish Education Got Game

I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some thinking we've been doing in the area of "gaming" and "gaming theory".  It reflects experiences as far back as last January's North American Jewish Day School Conference, which I blogged about …See More

A (School) Year in the Life...

Forty-one posts later......I have spent some time rereading the titles of the forty-one blog posts I have written this year and cherry-picked a few to reread so that I would have some sense of how to tie up in a neat bow my adventure in blogging this year.  Rather than regurgitate that which you are welcome to reread yourself, I though I would share an illustrative anecdote that took place last week:I received an email a few weeks…See More
