    "When writing the whitepaper about Casual games, I did a fair bit of research and looked at several hundred web links. While doing so, I documented a few of the better ones. I'd been mulling posting these to the blog. So here they are - a Top 100 Learning Game Resource list. If you are already developing learning games, these links will broaden your horizons, as they did mine. If you are contemplating beginning - it might help to look at links that interest you to get some grounding ideas. "

  • I haven’t seen met a single teacher who likes what’s happening? I haven’t met a single teacher who thinks that No Child Left Behind has been a success. I haven’t met a single teacher who thinks that Race to the Top is a good idea.

      Shame on us for not advocating for ourselves and on her for being so instrumental in leadig the charge - back to "The Truth About Testing" But: if she can turn around and try to undo her wrongs, we should be able to begin advocating for our profession and our students as well. Innovative lessons and culture change in our classroom, team, school, has to be contageous don't we think?

      I am one of those strange teachers who has found some reason to identify NCLB as a success in opening the doors for schools to look at achievement gaps. For too long schools look at the big number, NCLB has forced schools to look at sub-groups and identify what more can be done to bring every child up. While nearly impossible to get to 100% I think it is a goal that should be celebrated, leaves schools to answer the question, if we aren't getting 100%, who are those students who aren't making it, how can any school call itself a success that isn't graduating 100% of its students with skills.

    Kevin, you bring up a good point that NCLB has definitely caused us to be more aware of the students who are not achieving and I agree with you. Just as our book "The Art of Possibility" illustrates, there is a positive side to everything. I think you are right about the 100% being a worth while goal. The part that I disagree with is being individually held accountable for that goal when so many other factors such as parents, administration, and score spread critieria embedded in the test themselves, and other factors are working against the success of my students. I would love celebrations and media that honor schools for making high gains, for moving in the right direction, for getting closer to the 100%. I would love to see students honored for making such individual gains as well. Unfortunately I feel that the media message is that which is "failure". Maybe we could colaboratively write some publicity to demonstrate what are schools are doing well.
