    If you want to generate teams and groups randomly (and quickly), you can't go wrong with this easy-to-use tool. Copy & paste the names of your students in one box, choose team names (optional), the number of teams you want to generate, choose your output format (HTML or Excel format), and click Generate Teams! If you don't like the teams, click Generate Teams! again. Very simple to use. And fast!

  • Learning to practice, this book vividly illustrates, takes time and effort, trial and error. It won’t happen tomorrow. But even a small movement in the direction of more practice will reap benefits, in teaching and many other things we do.

shared by Chris Harrow on 17 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • Science in fiction affects our ability to understand science in real life.
  • Even ideas you think you can trust implicitly—like fingerprint evidence—turn out to have serious flaws that are seriously under-appreciated by cops, lawyers, judges, and juries.

    A surface-level report that might compel some students to look much deeper.

Common Core standards reform

shared by Chris Harrow on 25 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • A quiet, sub-rosa fear is brewing among supporters of the Common Core State Standards Initiative: that the standards will die the slow death of poor implementation in K-12 classrooms.
  • By any accounting, the challenge of getting the nation's 3.2 million K-12 public school teachers ready to teach to the standards is enormous.

  • the fact that there are millions of people who, rather than examine the evidence and change their position, prefer to cling to what they were taught as children, is simply a fact of life
  • Americans seem particularly prone to this head-in-the-sands behavior.
  • Sure, it takes time to build those networks. But there is an audience out there of committed teachers who are eager for all the help they can get.

  • If no teacher has learned of, or been influenced by, our work, why should we expect society to continue to support us?

  • Rereading is a terribly ineffective strategy. The best strategy--by far--is to self-test--which is the 9th most popular strategy out of 11 in this study.

  • Origami may seem an unlikely medium for understanding and explaining the world. But around the globe, several fine artists and theoretical scientists are abandoning more conventional career paths to forge lives as modern-day paper folders. Through origami, these offbeat and provocative minds are reshaping ideas of creativity and revealing the relationship between art and science.

  • “I’ve always questioned the rankings’ validity,” Taylor said. “It’s marketing, and when we talk about marketing, it’s selling.”
  • Many parents won’t even consider sending children to colleges that fail to earn high marks.
  • “There are lies, damned lies, statistics and rankings,” the website says. He defined this mania as “paying too much attention to the rankings and looking for status vs. making the right fit for a person.”

  • The school reported SAT and ACT data for admitted students instead of enrolled students. That artificially inflated Emory’s test scores.

shared by Chris Harrow on 20 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • The hard part of professional journalism going forward is writing about what hasn't been written about, directing attention where it hasn't been, and saying something new.
  • Chris Harrow on 20 Dec 11
     
    The great challenge for journalists is also the challenge for educators. We do need to look for the new ways to learn and share and reach each of our students. We cannot afford to teach the same old stuff in the same old way and expect that to be sufficient for our new students in this new time. Thanks to Bo A. for the lead to this article.
