As I prep for a class, I am leaving open a choose your own
topic of interest week based on ed tech.
This made me think about what topic I would choose if I were given this assignment. Online gaming, the future of
books, online and hybrid courses, social media: there are many topics I love. I’ve enjoyed following Jane McGonigal’s work
on gaming in education (See my past posts as I explored this topic last summer.), and Sherry Turkle’s TED Talk is
one of my favorites. So, in challenging
myself to begin my own assignment, I would choose to pair these two talks and
explore common and conflicting concepts.
Watch both of these talks and form your own conclusions. Some interesting lesson plan or discussion, yes discussion, is waiting to be developed by pairing these two talks together. Hmmm... a Vialogue or TED Ed would be a fun way to have conversations develop here.

I’ve gotta go. I’m
off to play a game of Words with Friends
with my kiddo and grandpa.
Happy conversing!
