Games in Education visual

I would like to thank Dawn Leeds for the following visual for "Gamification in Education". This brings in some good questions about what we are doing. Thoughts??

Board of Education and Social Media - This Tuesday night 6/4

I just read an article about how the Board wants to redefine the relationship teachers have with their students online with, specifically, Social Media sites. There is a discussion about this tonight and I think we as a school staff need to have our own communication about this. On the other hand this is a bad time time to get any meeting organized. I will try to post what the Board has ruled or when any more meetings about this will be scheduled. Please keep me informed if you hear anything. We need to wrap our minds around what we see as reasonable.
