Check out the article. Very interesting indeed. According to the article Ryerson lifted the expulsion threat but are giving him zero for the tutorial work. Harsh?

Apparently all students attending Ryerson from now on will be living and working in bubbles. Lecture content etc will be piped to them directly via their mobile phones and small LCD televisions mounted in the bubble. No contact with the outside world will be permitted until the end of semester.

What do you think?

There are lots of creation, planning and production tips including assessment rubrics that can be used along the way. Great resource. His current interest appears to be clay-mation (see the podcast). I’ve embedded a short film from TeacherTube created by Mathew. A whimsical look at 21st century skills and contemporary learning.
