I rarely hop on here, but today I've got to say "Go buy @11bitstudios This War of Mine".It's both important and good. http://store.steampowered.com/app/282070/ 

But it's more expensive than EC & we need your help to sustain it. So I'm very grateful for any help spreading the word/Patreonizing ; )

We've been dying to do this for a long time so we finally decided that we were just going to scrape some money together and make it happen.

Tomorrow, Heathstone tournament, join me... http://bit.ly/Un1Kod  (We'll be live streaming if you're not local!) -JP

Dear @Ubisoft, your E3 booth cost more than it would to put a female avatar in your game... priorities? -JP

I'm going to be on http://www.twitch.tv/scaretocare  (a cancer benefit) in 2 minutes, come join in! -JP

I just hope they help students/teachers trying to explain the value of games... Now time to record some James Recommends.

Hopefully it's a slow burn thing and they'll grow over time. But seriously: Candy Crush beat education... ; )

I'll confess, I'm a little sad that the education videos are the least watch shows we've ever done. -JP

https://forms.house.gov/mcdermott/webforms/new/contact.shtml … Tell them you care about Net Neutrality. They read every single letter that comes through that link -JP

If you're from Seattle, I need your help. I'm meeting with McDermott's office on Monday about Net Neutrality. And need you to write them-JP

So I randomly decided to long overstay my 5 minutes on twitch; if you want to hang out it looks like I'll be on http://twitch.tv/lofilofi  -JP

I'm hopping on twitch to help some ex-students of mine. Feel free to join in and ask me anything. http://www.twitch.tv/lofilofi  -JP

To little time is spent on the “why is math cool” before we jump in to asking “how do we teach math” #mnlead.

Before a student will explore on a subject on their own we have to show them why it's worth exploring. #mnlead

Institutionally often teach a subject before asking "where's the wonder". We have to understand why what we teach is engaging #mnlead

#MNlead A1 - I've always found the best assessment to be asking them to apply it to their lives.
