The INVICTA challenge is like a smart recombination of the things I enjoyed most from my own childhood: American Girl dolls/Books, Oregon Trail…only with a major upgrade. You might want a few copies so that students can read together and work through the game and missions together in a book group. Take a look!

In the box students will find story cards, masks, a puzzle, and a sticker book. The reusable stickers in the sticker book let kids create their own version of the Three Little Pigs. They can also practice re-mixing the story using the re-usable sticker book and app. This kit is better billed as a blended learning play kit.

Learning has attributes, what if we could tag curriculum (not the boxed stuff but real learning experiences and resources) with those attributes? More meaningful.

Students can use these tools to create book reviews, to document science experiments, for storytelling, to explain their inquiry process, as an eportfolio, to illustrate math concepts, and so much more! These tools will help your students take their learning and present it in a way that is both visually powerful, and easy to share.

I must admit, that some of this hesitation comes from experience with digital badges within EPIC Kids books , an app we love at Anastasis. because it brings us so many books and expands our classroom libraries and feeds our students desire to read. Each time a student reads a book, they earn a badge within EPIC.

Each student gets their very own learning plan with MobyMax with the adaptive curriculum. One of the things that I really appreciate about MobyMax is the mix of direct instruction and the ability for students to discover learning on their own through discovery-based instruction. At Anastasis, our learning portfolios are digital.

In November, I wrote a post about the book/PBS documentary series “How We Got to Now” by Steven Johnson. If you haven’t read this book or watched the series, it is a must! Truly, this is one of those books that has stayed with me. They spent time sitting at each domino and learning more about the innovations.

Boxed curriculum does exactly that: it boxes in learning, narrows the scope of possibility, and leads kids to believe that learning is a chore. Living curriculum does the opposite: it unleashes learning, opens up possibility and adjacent possibility, and leaves kids excited to continue learning. Living curriculum.

My Simple Show’s obvious use is for explanatory digital storytelling, but it would also be a great way for students to reflect on a field trip, tell a story, retell new learning (pssst. this is an awesome way to check for understanding!), or create their own “textbooks.”
