There are currently over 200 self-help organizations (from Alcoholics Anonymous to Overeaters Anonymous to Clutterers Anonymous) that employ the renowned and respected twelve-step guiding principles that assist members in overcoming those particular behaviors that stand in the way of personal growth and progress. In short, the execution of these steps serve as an instructional guide for a comprehensive transformation.
Of course, I don’t dare to presume to possess either the salience or the eminence of the founders of the original twelve-step program, but as the majority of my gig as an instructional coach involves supporting the gradual integration of technology into the curriculum, it occurred to me that a structured and guided approach was already being implemented by some teachers with whom I work. It also occurred to me that an audience of teachers most likely want to hear tried-and-true advice from real-time educators. And hence this blog post was born.
When it comes to educational technology and 21st-century learners, it seems that we allow the fear of technology--or the fear of failing--to impede our own progress. While we’ve all been reluctant adopters at one point or another, we can’t let our fear of failing get in the way of our students’ path to success. Perhaps the best way to transform trepidatious teachers is to furnish a set of guidelines--our own twelve steps.
The following teachers in my district (Wendy, Mary, and myself!) have taken steps to introduce technology into their curriculum--sometimes fearfully and sometimes confidently--and what they hope to share are their personal experiences and own collaborative twelve steps to success. Because like any solid twelve-step program, it’s the shared stories that help us persevere and eventually triumph.

Kelly made the cheer squad in high school. She was so happy! But then they said she had to buy her uniform. Kelly's face fell. She had no way to afford a uniform to cheer in!
Why did Kelly make the cheer squad?
A:
Not AnswerableSupermodel Kate Moss graces the covers of the Australian and Ukrainian August issues of Harper's Bazaar, but we've seen both the shots before.
We're all encouraged to'reduce, reuse, recycle' wherever and whenever possible in daily life, and it appears fashion publications are no exception.
We all marvelled at Kate Moss' sun-kissed glow and artfully tousled hair when she graced the cover and inside pages of US Harper's Bazaar's July issue in a beach-themed shoot - and it seems Australia and the Ukraine were just as taken with the images.
Now, the Harper's Bazaar editions from both countries have chosen to use pictures from that very same shoot, which was photographed by Terry Richardson, to cover their August issues.
While the original US cover featured Moss wearing a white feathered creation posing against a rock, the Australian and Ukrainian editions have opted for more evidently beachy shots.
We're all for recycling, and we understand that shoots involving the likes of Kate Moss and Terry Richardson cost mega bucks, but we're not sure how we feel about this situation - isn't the point of having country-specific editions that they each display something different from that of their foreign counterparts?
It's not the first recycling Kate has been involved in. She graced the June 2012 issue of British Vogue, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, and appeared to have borrowed David Beckham's rope from his Armani underwear campaign, which was also shot by the famed photography duo.
We're betting Kate doesn't suffer the drudgery of sorting her plastics from her paper on a weekly basis like us mere mortals, so at least now no one can accuse her of not doing her bit when it comes to recycling. She's nothing if not thrify.&gt;I'm not downvoting as this is your opinion, however, there are a few flaws here. 

Hey man, thanks. Titanfall is the only shooter I can stomach and I really don't like seeing it turned into something that might even *look* derivative. It tints all of my posts in a certain way that blinds me to things, if I get something wrong I don't mind getting called on it.

&gt; Firstly, the unpredictability of the first game seems to still be present minus the introduction of pilot tacticals and titans (though you can have different playstyles with each titan that are viable from what I have seen, especially if you count the titan kits).

I do see a lot of different, viable playstyles but that doesn't increase unpredictability in my mind. 

Anecdotal (and worthless) proof: In the initial tech test I noticed that, a lot of the time, nothing I couldn't predict or at least kind of understand. If I got shot in the back it's because he came from an expected angle I just wasn't watching or he ran in and unloaded into me. I could rapidly understand the problem and never died twice to the same problem. This made the game grow stale and almost monotonous, only saved by the **occasional** instance of interesting and varied activity, the rest was just predictable plays with some minor changes based on the situation.

 There's a balance to be struck between the two to avoid frustration, but I don't know where it is. Perhaps it's just my optimism?

&gt; I actually believe that the "overwatch titans" were a relatively good approach. My reasoning is that in the first game, almost all of the big killer titans I saw were either an atlas or stryder with a 40mm. Now, seeing the new titans play around a bit, I believe these titans will help with keeping diversity instead of allowing a titan meta that is difficult to break

The problems with a set of valid Titan loadouts weren't the fault of customization inherently, more or less the fault of Respawn balancing. The customization system would have been infinitely better had there been more balance. The new Titans come at the expense of versatility (Each Titan has a role and deviations from that role are minimal), flexibility (No meaningful customization) and personal attachment (They're presets).

Expansion on the customization would have been better than scrapping it entirely, I think it was mainly to appease complaints of simple Titan chassis but that still seems like an overreaction. Overwatch-style ult cores aren't helping the matter, and personally feel like a change that is more derivative than interesting.

&gt;Also, if you call Titanfall 2 unrealistic, then the first can be considered just as unrealistic.

I'd say that Titanfall 1 wasn't realistic, but it felt like it was plausible. If you can stretch your imagination to allow giant robots and FTL tech, then nothing else seems beyond the ordinary. The grunts use realistic terminology and behavior, the plot doesn't seem too far fetched aside from some technobabble and the occasional plothole. None of the lore struck me as something that wasn't entirely plausible, it felt like it *could* happen in a few hundred years. 

Titanfall 2, meanwhile, has sentient or semi-sentient robots in the form of some Pilots and possibly Ash, teleportation technology that uses some other dimension, tons of lasers and Scorch's weird fire abilities.

Overall it's minor, but the general direction away toward immersion and more toward flashy, standardized effects simply isn't good for my view of the game. That's a personal thing though, not really major enough to not buy it but it's a bad sign.Addressed: His Excellency / B. Franklin, Min. Plenipo: / of the United States / Passy./.
