Ed100 Sitemap
Most of our posts are short, but this one is a whopper. A reader asked if we could show what's under the hood in Ed100, all in one epic page. We flirted with calling it Page 42. (Hitchhikers will know why: it's the answer to life, the universe and everything.)
Why not, we thought. We've already taken a shot at this in a few ways:
- The EdPrezi: Some years ago we used Prezi to create an all-inclusive tour of Ed100. It remains a cool way to show an overview of Ed100's lessons.
- Our music video. Yes, really! Jeff created a four minute song that summarizes Ed100 in a lighthearted way.
- The Ed100 Big Deck of Questions is a public slide deck full of "teasers" pulled from the lessons.
Without further ado, here's our sitemap, including all lessons and selected blog posts. If you switch between viewing Ed100 in English and Spanish (you knew you could do that, right?) this sitemap will switch, too.
