WRP Survey -Lauren Cochran

Hello everyone! I know a lot of people have been making surveys to go with their WRP research but if you could find the time to take mine I would be really grateful.

My survey is on the positive effects that video games can have on the mind and also how video games are greatly helping many careers.

Thank you for taking it and please let me know if you have any problems with it.

Mr. Pink wants to hear from you...

Here is an excerpt from an email I received from Daniel Pink. He wants to know...

i wonder if somewhere in this process you could pose a question to your students. it's one i've been pondering, but my hunch is that your students will have more interesting answers than i could summon myself. the question would be something like this: If you had to create a new school -- or reform your current school -- so that it better develops the six senses, what one or two things would you do?

don't want to throw you off your lesson plan, but i'd love to hear how the young women and men of arapahoe would respond that one. maybe we could talk a little about it during our live blogging or some other venue?

thanks again for your great work.

cheers,
dan

So, either on the class blog, in your Personal Learning Journal, or both, respond thoughtfully to his question. This might be one you continue to come back to time and again reflecting your change of thinking as we discuss, read, and react to one another's thoughts.

Interesting Links

Our famous Mr. Fisch received some links to laughter yoga that Pink references in AWNM. I thought I would share them with you.
