As this seems to be the newest "buzz" in education, it was very worthwhile to explore and learn about. There are some interesting ideas that I believe can help students in the classroom. It's important to make your own judgement based on the information presented.

This course fit perfectly with the grading initiative my school building is currently working towards. Great topics and discussion to reconsider old grading habits!
Jennifer Sell
