TED is awesome… I recently watched a TED talk by Eddie Obeng who spoke about our fast changing world. His central focus was the idea that the pace at which the world is advancing is exponential whereas the pace of learning and education is and has been consistent. Schools are improving – we just can’t keep up.
Consequently, educators are feverishly looking for ways to make schools once-again interesting for kids.
One of my favorite progressive educational leaders and thinkers is Sir Ken Robinson@SirKenRobinson. He gave a TED talk in 2006 that has since been viewed by over 16 million people.
He is an advocate for fostering creativity in children because in the end, it will be creativity that solves the problems of tomorrow.
His concern (shared by many) is that our school systems and institutions are designed around conformity, greatly reducing the ability of educators to foster creativity.

Boy is this a great article. Nothing more irritating than stupid rules. To get around them as educators:
1. ASK kids the HARD questions that get them thinking 2. Stop grading things that don't matter 3. Get positive press when your kids do cool things 4. Find where the REALLY hard line is 5. Ask for administrative support BETTER
The best? Find out where the REALLY hard line is. Too many of us interpret parts of administration's sentences literally and wonder why we sit inside a straight jacket! Delete the scoop?

This article puts forth what it calls a 'theory' to 'model the psychological reasons people play video games'. It does make for an interesting read and will probably even serve in giving teachers solid reasons to encourage students' gaming endeavours. This article puts forth however a subjective point of view and is not a result of scientific research. Delete the scoop?

Yes, I think Moocs are great for making learning possible for those who don't have access to good classrooms here in US and also globally. But we, in higher education will continue to face the challenges regarding engaging students in learning ( curricular and co-curricular ) and the challenge of institutions shifting their paradigm from a teaching institution to a learning institutions.

We like a magic bullet, a one trick fix to complex problems. Hence our conversations about STEM, CORE etc. HR has a more nuanced assessment. Some of the tech we're playing with, MOOCs for instance, open another path that some may want to take.
This is a good reminder not to let the means become the end. We've already been down that road and look where we've ended up.
