I just got back from Atlanta, Georgia, where I went to my first National Educational Computing Conference with FableVision!

There were plenty of highlights, but my favorite part was speaking with teachers who introduced me to new “North Star” inspired lesson plans. One teacher told me about making North Star Constellations the first day of class, and asking students to introduce different topics over the course of the year, based on their interests. (So, to introduce a unit on wildlife, the student who wrote “birds” on his or her constellation might introduce it by sharing some information with the rest of the class).

I want to continue the discussion. What’s your favorite North Star resource? What would you like to add as a North Star resource?
