The projects profiled here are full-figured creations by teams of teachers at schools whose cultures and schedules support grand ideas. Take a deep breath -- it didn't happen in one big swoop.
Article on how to plan the PBL process in a classroom/school/district. I think this article is useful for any educator hesitant about the project-based learning approach. It's a lot of time and work, and then a struggle with how it is assessed. In my personal experience, project-based learning makes for an amazing classroom, but there is a lot of work done on the front-end to get students to buy-in to this model, and then to work within this model.
From 2:00pm to 3:30pm, we offer optional 45-minute classes and activities. Students are given the opportunity to enroll in the July Focus Program - one-on-one instructional classes - or to engage in after-school activities, or to participate in both.
What authority died and made Mr. young the all knowing mind reader? Perhaps some MIT professors have perfected their well loved lectures. There's no space for any reality but that of Mr. Young here. Sad article.
wow. H bomb! I have little respect for the H school of Ed if they are putting their name on a report that makes repeat broad assumptions and insults of teachers.
sample blog from one of those 13% .... OMG for all the students who missed class bcause u were up playing video games.... Your BFF is this blog. In class we talked about our next class where we will use after life to learn better. No way will this professor get labled a hold out. see this killer chart tinyurl.com/youngpie1
Mr. Jones insults teachers heavily here. He writes like many who profit from and push technology. Note his misogynistic use of "handmaiden" in his fitting conclusion. The NETP working group does the same: "many of our existing educators do not have the same understanding of and ease with using technology that is part of the daily lives of professionals in other sectors. The same can be said of...higher education institutions that prepare new educators"
OMG. This insults teachers, as if they use folk ( aka myth ) to teach. And what's the motive of Jeff to quote him? Rebuttal to this bad joke: Perhaps we would have folk in the operating room if we paid doctors like teachers, not to mention giving them 35 surgeries in a 45 bell period.
CHARLESTOWN, Ind. - A southern Indiana city plans to provide laptop computers to all 1,200 high school and middle school students in the community.
The One-to-One computer program will be unveiled to parents Monday evening at Charlestown High School.
Former Charlestown High booster club president Chris Grayson says the computers will increase job opportunities for students.
Greater Clark County schools interim superintendent Travis Haire says the district is still working of financing to lease the laptops, which could cost about $300,000 over four years.
In addition to the free laptops, the city about 15 miles northeast of Louisville, Ky., plans to install a number of wireless hot spots and a community computer lab.
Surely there must be some impact all of this technology is having on our brains and behaviours as even mere males become more competent at multi-tasking their technological devices.

Scientific evidence on the distribution of cancer in the population can be obtained through carefully planned and executed epidemiological studies. Over the past 15 years, studies examining a potential relationship between RF transmitters and cancer have been published. These studies have not provided evidence that RF exposure from the transmitters increases the risk of cancer. Likewise, long-term animal studies have not established an increased risk of cancer from exposure to RF fields, even at levels that are much higher than produced by base stations and wireless networks.
