Comments on ClassDojo controversy and Killer Apps for the Classroom? by Ben Williamson
I’ve never been a great one for points and the like in class, mostly due to my inability to be consistent enough in their use and unexamined distaste.
There are echos in the Doing Data Differently project. I’ve been listening to some of the colloquium videos and finding them though provoking.

I saw this in @cogdog‘s flickr photo stream d/l to gif but got busy. #tdc3230 #ds106

This popped up on my screen today. I’ve not used Flash for a long time, but had good fun with in in its day. When it was owned by macromedia we got education licenses in school and my then pupils had fun animating.
I’ve decided to avoid the bind I usually get myself in with daily challenges, when I get stuck and flail around, by picking and choosing my way through #mbnov.
