Veldig god blogg om arkeologi. Gode fortellinger, konkret knyttet til steder sør i Norge. Flott som kilde i historie.

When I give worksheets with questions on them my students immediately type the entire question into the omniscient search box on Google and in an instant, they have their answer. They have expended absolutely zero energy or effort to find the answer and as a result will not remember the question or the answer. There are two solutions to this problem: 1. Ban the use of Google by all school-aged children. 2. Learn to write "Google-proof" questions.

Med lærerkonto blir diigo et fantastisk verktøy i skolen (som om det ikke var det allerede)!

My goal in writing this article is to help faculty, administrators, and college/university support staff to better understand who open faculty are and why they make the choices they make. The model presented here is my best attempt to map out the open faculty mindset (both analog and digital). My hope is that some enterprising graduate students and/or faculty members will take up a more academic research project to see if this model holds for a large sample of faculty. And if they do conduct this research, I hope they will openly share their findings as they progress.

Kikoras unike tilbakemeldingsfunksjon gir elevene fortløpende tilbakemeldinger underveis i alle utregninger - uavhengig av hvilken fremgangsmåte de velger.

Mindre tid til kontroll, retting og dokumentasjon gir læreren mer tid til læringsfremmende arbeid. Kikora har over 3000 nivådifferensierte oppgaver, skrevet for norsk læreplan. Oppgavene dekker de fleste av læreplanmålene for hele ungdomstrinnet og første trinn på videregående skole (1T, 1P og 1YP).

Ser fint ut, men kr 30000 i året for en ungdomsskole med 160 elever er nokså heftig...

This article was from the Guardian: Intelligence tests recently carried out among more than a thousand children in Wolverhampton schools appear to show a striking and quite unexpected increase in the mental capacity of children born since 1945. A psychiatrist concerned in the tests has suggested that the most probable hypothesis to account for this change is the effect on the brain of the increase in "background radio-activity". For the pointer I thank Michelle Dawson.
