    The article says this is a book list for boys, but I think girls would enjoy these just as much. Good suggestions divided by age group.

      Will the move toward cooperative learning and problem based learning affect introverts' need for time and space?

      I've seen online classes use this well. An online chat gives an introvert time to answer questions and make comments at their own pace whereas in a live class the conversation would have moved on by the time the introvert was ready to contribute. The question is, is there any way to use this at the elementary level?

  • In fact, the introvert may be a pushed out as the extroverts of the group dominate the conversation even if their thinking is not on target.
  • introverts aren’t averse to being with people; it’s just that they need solitude to re-energize, engage in deep creative thinking, and process the mass sensory input that the extrovert thrives on
  • acknowledging that introversion is not something to be “overcome,

    Right now, teachers can download Storia & five e-books for free on Scholastic's website. Many books have interactive elements with the text and I think they can all also be read to you. It also keeps a Reading Report of time spent reading, what books were reading, how many words were looked up, etc.

  • virtually nobody disputes that socioeconomic status, cultural identity and the educational level of parents — especially mothers — are linked to the stubborn achievement gap between students of different races and ethnicities.
  • research has shown that outside factors are generally more powerful than any teacher and that it is the exception rather than the rule that students facing myriad social issues can do well at school
  • The persistent gap in the District reflects on the questionable nature of some of the reforms that have been implemented in the city
  • Megan Cleary on 10 Sep 12
     
    This issue is both frustrating and controversial, and there is little to no agreement on how to address it.  It seems educators will be dealing with this issue for a long time to come.

the Edthena blog - about better coaching for teachers and using technology - 0 views

  • The public perceives education as of the government. The public is demanding better education options. The public is asking for real progress in the way of education reform. And yet, the government is now sitting on the sidelines waiting till next year.
  • To those lawmakers who claim to be education advocates and committed to real change in education -- take education off your lipservice list and put it on your to-do list. Stop using education and education investment as a bargaining chip to get your other deals done.
  • However, without a concerted effort to "place bets" on the ideas that have the potential to transform education, how can we ever expect to "hit it big" when it comes to education technology?

  • Edhtena is a technology platform that's focused on schools. And yet, schools sometimes don't have the right technology upgrades to support technology like Edthena.  Sure, the computers are powerful enough. Sure, the internet bandwidth is there. But the software -- mainly the browser -- that users have may not deliver the best experience.  This is why we're so excited by Microsoft's announcement to automatically update Internet Explorer for all users. LOTS of schools are still running LOTS of computers with Windows XP with old versions of IE. Now, teachers won't have to worry about what version software they have. And IT departments won't have to worry about capacity to update everyone over time.  Everybody wins here. Thank you, Microsoft.

    I'm biased because this blog is from my childhood best friend's older brother (whew), but he has a really cool start-up company that is focused on educational technology and, further, on using technology to provide teachers feedback. Adam is a TFA alum, originally from Virginia Beach, who is passionate about teaching and helping teachers improve their craft. Worth checking out!

(Court-Ordered) Notice-and-Takedown: the Chilean Approach | Center for Democracy & Tech... - 0 views

shared by Emily Wampler on 09 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • Though modeled on the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the law differs in one crucial respect: While a cornerstone of the US law is its private notice-and-takedown system, the Chilean law requires that rightsholders secure a court order before content must be taken down.
  • court oversight may well prevent some of the mistakes we have seen under the US system.
  • having to go to court significantly raises the burden on them when requesting takedowns.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • It remains to be seen as courts implement the law whether it does in practice provide reasonable protection for rightsholders, intermediaries, and users. 
  • Notice-forwarding requirements, whereby ISPs and content hosts are required to pass along notices of apparent or alleged infringement to subscribers, present yet a third model for dealing with online copyright infringement.
