Curriculum design in the 21st century continues to be a moving target. As we combine best pedagogical practices with ever more amazing and powerful tools in a media drenched age, it becomes increasingly more challenging to focus on student learning in specific and focused ways.
This image is inspired by the thought of one of my digital super villains creating a virus that is personified on the net by dragon iconography. I am finding that the digital citizenship/comics creation unit I am growing is the most satisfying work of my teaching career. Its combination of personal passion and deep teaching opportunities inspires me every day I get to work with it.

When you state is it becoming more challenging to focus on student learning in specific ways, what ways do you mean?
Student learning is extremely integrated with multiple subjects and techniques and therefor should be taught as such, or at least students should be made aware of the constant connections.
