Our writings about eXtreme Teaching have been referenced by (at least) these people:

I have also documented other thoughts I have had on pedagogy - related or not to eXtreme Teaching:

You may be interested in knowing more about how we use eXtreme Programming in our Software Engineering curriculum. Fortunately there are some papers describing that:
