I encourage doodling in my classes. If a student hands in something that’s been doodled on, I try to add to the doodle or positively comment on it.

Wouldn’t it be great if creative students were allowed to use doodles as their assignment products to communicate what they had learned!

Civilization 5 - great gift for video game lovers:

This is a review written by one the members of our 4-H group. My boys have loved this game and learned a lot of history from playing it. A great game to give boys who love strategy video games. And if you don’t mention it, they won’t realize you managed to sneak in some education along with the fun.
