A superb online class management system. Award points for good behaviour and working hard. Take points away for late homework and being unkind. You can set your own headings to customise for your class. You can even update it using your mobile device's web browser. It's one of the best sites that I have shared. Try it.

I have spent the good part of the past 6 years of my professional life analyzing assessment data. NWEAs, NECAPs (NH’s state assessment), school-based assessments, surveys, etc. I have studied proficiencies, RIT scores, grade reports and AYP calculations. I have taught professional development courses on how to use assessment databases and I have met with administrators from other districts to compare our data sets and strategies for improvement.

Dr. Mason, who teaches economics at the University of North Florida, believes his students are just as intelligent as they’ve always been. But many of them don’t read their textbooks, or do much of anything else that their parents would have called studying. “We used to complain that K-12 schools didn’t hold students to high standards,” he says with a sigh. “And here we are doing the same thing ourselves.”

Warning for Food Colorings to Be Considered by F.D.A. Panel - NYTimes.com - 0 views
-
The hearings signal that the growing list of studies suggesting a link between artificial colorings and behavioral changes in children has at least gotten regulators’ attention — and, for consumer advocates, that in itself is a victory. In a concluding report, staff scientists from the F.D.A. wrote that while typical children might be unaffected by the dyes, those with behavioral disorders might have their conditions “exacerbated by exposure to a number of substances in food, including, but not limited to, synthetic color additives.”

Shirky ends the story of the lost Sidekick by asking, portentously, “What happens next?”—no doubt imagining future waves of digital protesters. But he has already answered the question. What happens next is more of the same. A networked, weak-tie world is good at things like helping Wall Streeters get phones back from teen-age girls. Viva la revolución.

I'm struck by the fact that this article is quick to warn that social networking voting models are likely to be "gamed" by interested parties. The report itself notes that "monographs remain largely static objects ... instead of being vibrant hubs for discussion and engagement" (3). If this is going to be a success as we move forward, I think a balance will need to be found between those two poles.
