    Teacher organization set up (with pictures!). I liked the streamlined approach to paper wrangling. Nothing terribly new, but it is inspiring.

    Perfect for F451. Is there a way to tag this with F451? Does Patty have to do it?
  • Patty Van Spankeren on 06 Apr 12
     
    I was able to add the tag by selecting "more" and "edit," but I'm not sure if I'm the only one who can see that option.

English Teacher Rethinks Grammar Lessons -- With an App - 2 views

    This article explains a new web application created by an English teacher that drills students on common grammar errors. It appear that the site is just getting started (they only currently have quizzes on apostrophes, subject/verb agreement, and commas/fragments/run ons), but this site looks like it has potential to be an excellent tool for formative assessment.
  • Marcia Meyer on 06 Apr 12
     
    I set up a class and took a few quizzes. This would be very cool if we could make our own sentences since there are only a few types of quizzes right now--very basic. The best part is that the program clearly explains how the student can fix the mistake. Nice.

    It wasn't until I was in my fifties that I realized how restricted my high school reading lists had been, and how little they had changed for my three children. They were enthusiastic readers, as my wife and I were. But all, or almost all, of the required books for either generation were fiction.
