  • Plus, it looks so much tidier.

      I always tell my writing tutees this: We put commas and periods (other than those following citations) inside quotation marks because they are like small children. Semicolons, colons, exclamation points, and question marks are like adults; they can go inside or outside. But comma-children will get lost or run over a bus if you let them outside.

      Sidenote: Brits let commas out-of-doors. Some may say that this is because Brits enjoy fresh air and long walks; I say it is because Brits have public healthcare, and don't have to pay when their children are run over by buses.

      Helpful hint -- have high schoolers collaborate to make "grammer hint" videos or presentations for their classes. This site would aid them :)

    One reason I bookmarked this site is because I was shocked, flabbergast, and delighted that "10 Completely Wrong Ways to Use Commas" made it into the "Most Popular" list for howstuffworks.com. The other reason is simpler: Howstuffworks taught me how to explain transgenics, use fantasy football, and change a car tire. Students should know this site!

  • Interactive whiteboards have great potential as a tool to enhance pedagogical practices in the classroom and ultimately improve student achievement. However, simply assuming that using this or any other technological tool can automatically enhance student achievement would be a mistake. As is the case with all powerful tools, teachers must use interactive whiteboards thoughtfully, in accordance with what we know about good classroom practice.

      I like this article because it reminds us that while technology, particularly interactive white boards, is great in the classroom, it is only as good as the teacher using it. The teacher needs to think about how they will use it in the classroom to ensure the best results for their students.

      I love this idea of using the interactive white board to help students understand the topic as it relates to things current in the world.  Using this in addition to their textbook can show them that what was significant in the past is still significant today.
  • In many classrooms, teachers simply noted how many students obtained the correct answer instead of probing into why one answer was more appropriate than another.

      There is no point in showing the results if your not going to discuss them!
  • A second feature is the use of graphics and other visuals to represent information. These include downloaded pictures and video clips from the Internet, sites such as Google Earth, and graphs and charts. Use of these aids was also associated with a 26 percentile point gain in student achievement.
