What did you learn today? 

I think this is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves. By staying curious and continuing to learn each day, anything is possible.

I chatted with Monica Cornetti on Gamification Talk Radio. Hear a little about the project that inspired 4 Cs to an A+ Learning Experience that I presented at GamiCon.

Many giggles and ideas were shared between host Rob Alvarez and I during this episode of Professor Game where we talked about wins, failures, favorite games and resources, and more.
