Wow! Just wow! You're going to hate to hear this, Anita, but I'm beginning to understand why some of my readers ask me to make my blog posts shorter. There is just so much here that is obligatory reading. I am fascinated by gamification and how it will change the future of education . . . and journalism. I knew about the Winnipeg strike from Carol Bolt's play Buffalo Jump, but the 360-report was absorbing. Of course, I was aware of Sudan, Syria and Ukraine, but the NYT doc , The Displaced, is an acute reminder that it's always children who pay the greatest price for a war. Having gone through the tenure and full-professor process, I read Nikole Hannah-Jones' open letter with particular interest. The process is a minefield. She has shown that the deeper you go into the power structure the more conservative and reactionary it becomes. Sometimes you need to break things to figure out how they work.
Oh, don't worry about me — I have pretty thick skin 😉 I'm glad to hear you found this edition of The Other Wave chockful of "obligatory reading"; that's my goal for every newsletter!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the VR video examples and Nikole Hannah-Jones' statement. At which school did you go through the tenure and full-professor process, if you don't mind my asking?

I don't know where else to complain . . . but why isn't How the Chinese Created Canada available in Kindle format?
