Post-graduate researchers and doctoral candidates, Ya-Huei Lu and Elisha Ding, walk us through multiple tech integration research projects and offer tips on best practices for documentation of integration within a school.
Journey Nine
Simulations, Models, and Minecraft
Non-linguistic expression of content with models of the inner ear. Storyboards, movie design, need to know, student driven inquiry. Roman gods with simulations of archetype worshipers. Simulation design for learning space. Minecraft, Matt Ritchards, The Mind Lab, and the end of classroom walls.
Journey Ten
Transmedia
The modern secondary orality is about engaging with text, remixing, co-creating mashups, sharing text across time and space synchronously and asynchronously, making thinking not just readable but visible, fusing text into transmedia events. Is this a return to a pre-industrialized polychronic communicative form, or a new era of literacy, a post-Gutenberg parenthesis? We talk to Tracy Clark, Silvia Tolisano, Lee Ann Tysseling, Thomas Pettitt, Amy Burvall, and have performance guests, Frank Reichlin, and CNG students.

Jane McGonigal explains how games can make our lives better and James Paul Gee explains how game design will help us reform education in the redesign of learning environment.
