Bad journalism or fast IT reaction?
In today’s issue (04.11.2009, p.22) of L’esssentiel, a free daily newspaper in Luxembourg, I read an article about the fictive city Argleton… A city that apparently only exists in cyberspace and could be found on Google Maps, somewhere close to Liverpool, UK, Europe.

RE: Designing for anticipation, Teaching for anticipation | Punya Mishra’s Web
So what does this mean for teaching? First, everything we do as educators needs a larger goal (the big picture as it were). Too often we get lost in the minutia of of the project and forget the broader, overarching frame. The structure of our lessons, our semester, our mini-activities needs to have a larger […]
