		<description><![CDATA[Captio is one of those iPhone apps that are actively making my life better. Which is quite a bold claim for something that only costs £1.50. The longer I&#8217;ve had a smartphone the more I find I send myself emails to act as reminders, notes or to-dos. Yes, I have RTM and Agenda to cover [...]]]></description>

On arrival at school all parents sign in at the front desk so we know who&#8217;s on site. By switching the sign-in spreadsheet over to a Google Document and sharing it with staff every teacher in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Studying games based learning means I tend to encounter the phrase ‘I’m no good at games’ a fair bit. The problem I have with it is I’m not sure it is possible. What people who say this actually mean is any one or more of the following: 1) I am intimidated by computers or don’t [...]]]></description>

More on that to come. In this post I want to talk about failing and how we’re not doing it nearly as often as we should. The thing about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier in the year I touched on Pac-man scores and the motivating factors around being the highest. Is it possible for the rewards linked to these scores to be high enough that I&#8217;m encouraged to cheat? And, how many of these answers related to GBL also apply to grading in school? Why I might cheat [...]]]></description>

The link is a short explanation of work by Lepper and Greene from 1975. What it tells us is that for children who already enjoy a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of posts ago I wrote about game walk-throughs after a conversation with a fellow MSc-er suggested that they thought they constituted cheating. I&#8217;m quite a fan of them and it got me thinking about the true value of these documents in a learning context. So, Bloom. He and his committee mates wrote themselves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although they are going to sound pretty similar this is two questions really. Firstly, how do I know if I&#8217;m good at a game? And, the extension of that is what makes me feel I am good at a game? See, they kind of overlap. Scores would be the obvious answer. The higher my score [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s about where we draw the line, what the line actually is, and who has the chalk in their hand. Breaking down cheating In my usual spirit of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clifford Nass knows about multi-tasking. Quite simply, his message is that we&#8217;re no good at it. And, the more we try to multi-task the worse we get at each of the tasks we&#8217;re attempting. Nicholas Carr (The Shallows) is with him. While it seems that the popular interpretation of Miller&#8217;s Magic Number 7 that we can [...]]]></description>
