February 1 - February 8, 2015
A small but good collection this week. If you're interested in the state of tech in education, don't miss the Babson report on Online Learning.
Otherwise, the feature article prompts us to think about movement as a sophisticated teaching tool rather than a cheap way to be engaging. A worthy read.
Enjoy!
