Today, we're doing another first for web browsers by adding a classic word processing feature-pagination, the ability to see visual pages on your screen. We're also using pagination and some of Chrome's capabilities to improve how printing works in Google Docs. Pagination is rolling out now and should be available to everyone by the end of the day.

The second and more lasting thing I noticed was the students. They were in hallways and classrooms. They were on laptops, listening to headphones, working independently, working in groups, and working on projects. Everyone seemed engrossed in whatever tasks they were involved in. Not everyone was doing the same thing. It was not quiet, but it also was not loud either. The one group of people I had a hard time locating were the teachers.

"To clear up some of the confusion around these comments and assertions, I went straight to the top: the Department of Education's Director of Education Technology, Karen Cator. Cator parsed the rules of the Childrens Internet Protection Act, and provided guidance for teachers on how to proceed when it comes to interpreting the rules. To that end, here are six surprising rules that educators, administrators, parents and students might not know about website filtering in schools."

"Comments let you apply notes, questions, or observations to a passage on a wiki page - it's kind of like slapping a Post-it note onto the wiki page. Because they're linked to a specific part of the page, comments show you exactly which words they're about (unlike with an email or discussion post). And because the comments can be revealed or collapsed, they let you look at a page as either as an appreciative audience or a critical editor, depending on your needs."

But, on average, the state's charter school students lag behind the gains of students in regular public schools - 39 percent of charter schools underperform their public school counterparts in reading and 46 percent in math.

  Of course, we have to flip those numbers as well. If 39% underperform, then 61% OUTperform.
