I was intrigued to see this book appearing in my Twitter feed, written by Quinn Rollins. Like many books, it is linked to the ideas of classroom management, but focusses on the aspects of fun which may sometimes be lost in the pursuit of something more edifying or 'rigorous'...
Although there may be less of a research-led basis to what is being said, this is also about creativity and being open to new ideas and connections.
I loved some of the simple ideas contained in the book - we already make use of graphic novels, Lego and a range of other toy-related materials.
The value of a book like this is that you can see the ideas actually written down, and there are some QR code links to scan to see student work produced using the different techniques.
