A healthy dose of scepticism - The Learner's Way - 63 views
-
I want my students to be sceptics. I believe that in the present age scepticism is more important than ever. Easy access to information, ease of publishing, scams and confidence tricksters combine to create a climate where blind trust is dangerous for our security, our finances and our knowledge bases. For students of all ages a healthy dose of scepticism is much needed not just so they may reveal falsehoods but to allow them to discover new truths.

Quandl - Find, Use and Share Numerical Data - 52 views
-
Hi Professor Neustadtl, I have developed a repository for sociology data tailored for researchers, and especially students. The site is open and free, and has over 3 million social, financial, and economic time series datasets available for downloading. Importantly, the ease by which a user can find, trim, transform, merge, and download time series data from www.quandl.com is in my opinion, unmatched elsewhere. My hope is that you will visit the site briefly, and perhaps offer me some feedback. More information about the service is below. I've also included my LinkedIN profile should you be weary of my intentions with this email. www.quandl.com/academics with thanks, Tammer -- Tammer Kamel tammerk@quandl.com http://www.quandl.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/tammerkamel/

ASCD Inservice: Practice, Practice, Practice (Or: Homework, Homework, Homework?) - 1 views
-
Homework needs to be completed in order to produce the highest achievement gains. Design it with ease of completion in mind. A large amount of homework does not result in better learning. Homework should be academically purposeful, not a punishment or a symbol of the seriousness of study. Homework should be explicitly tied to the current learning goals of the class. Homework should be able to be completed without adult assistance. Parents or guardians should not be expected to act as content experts. Parents should, however, be provided with clear homework guidelines. Assignments that involve using the parents' expertise or personal experiences (such as interviews) are often successful.

I love Storify!! I"ve been working with it since the summer...Here is some of my work: https://sites.google.com/site/stephsnotebook/home/storify I'd be interested in your feedback. -
@stephanie mccabe I'm just getting started with Storify so I don't know much about it. I love the work you did with it and I find the concept really interesting-- the ease of mixing different media to answer a question. The only concern I have is about how to get students to turn it into a cohesive written narrative (which I find is what students seem to have a harder time with). Writing seems so difficult for students these days.... What do you think?
