I'm beginning to feel resigned to the sad fact that "awesome" just won't go away as the universal superlative.

Krypton Course 004: Sonia Simone and the modern art of copywriting
This course is practical and, for many of you, a stretch.
It's based on Copyblogger's free subscription materials, an overlooked gem online. Sonia has been writing for Copyblogger for a while, and her approach is insightful, generous and powerful.

Let's stop pretending. If your company is going to make a significant step toward sustainability, it probably won't make business sense, at least not in any way that can be predicted or quantified. You will have to trust something other than the numbers. On the personal level it is the same.
There will always be a next step that doesn't make sense by the numbers.

The Peeragogy Handbook (http://peeragogy.org) is a peer-created and peer-maintained online resource for peer learners. The Web is a cornucopia of texts and tools for motivated self-learners, from YouTube and Google to Big Blue Button and Open Educational Resources. Never before has so much knowledge and so many communication media been available for learners. The Peeragogy Handbook is a resource for those who have the motivation and the access to online texts and tools, but who could use some help with group peer-learning pedagogy. The Peeragogy Handbook was created by a network of more than 30 volunteers around the world — and is open to anyone who wants to enlarge and improve it.

together. The school’s ethos reaches its strongest expression for two weeks at the end of each trimester, when the students drop everything for an exercise known as Boss Level. During this two-week intensive, the students work in teams with their “home base
During this two-week intensive, the students work in teams with their “home bases” (similar to homerooms) to incorporate what they have learned over the previous trimester and apply it to solve a new, complex problem.
You probably have a warm memory of immersing in some sort of project or competition like this during your school years, whether during a sport, an extracurricular or even a class. What makes Boss Level different is the time and respect accorded to the experience, and the way students are guided to connect it with the rest of their education. As a MacArthur Foundation case study puts it, “Boss Levels confer academic legitimacy on creative activities that are typically absent or marginalized at conventional schools.”
no doubt... waaaay cool.
but imagine.. this happening 24/7 in the city. as the day.
with no pre set agenda of learned content...
Boss Levels confer academic legitimacy on creative activities that are typically absent or marginalized at conventional school
yeah.
oh my.
academic legitimacy on creative activities....?
If physics doesn’t grab you, you can take charge of the costumes, or stand outside the classroom and play a Christmas carol on the trumpet to usher in the judges. The
physics can't not grab you.
perhaps what us meant...
if physics doesn't grab you for said content....no...?
But it’s not all just fun and games. There’s a real rigor to the competition.
dang..
no.... ?
In part, the novelty of being judged by outside observers helps motivate the students to bring their A-game, and in the judges’ room we took our deliberations very seriously
or that's our authenticity a- game's biggest ... most unquestioned... invisible... elephant.. in the air... no...?
There’s a real rigor to the competition
perhaps.. I might add... in ignorant boldness...
there is no true grit (if that is what is meant by real rigor here).....
there can be no real/true/ongoing/sustainable-
if there is the scarcity element... of competition..
in the judges’ room we took our deliberations very seriously. We found ourselves arguing about the essence of creativity and commitment: should we reward the ambitious teams for trying harder or the “perfect” kids who played it safe.
oof..
