This is a great program sponsored by Office Max and Jones New York in the Classroom. Make sure that you SIGN UP NOW as a teacher and register. Office Max is having a big awards day October 1st and selection is starting now. If you don't have enough resources, this is a GREAT way to funnel assistance into your classroom. You don't know until you ask, and the best teachers are one's who overcome excuses. US only.
So, overcome that excuse and join in the site now!
* It's been a tough couple of years for MySpace, hit by job losses, falling user numbers and changes at the top. But can anything save the troubled social network - which is still, after all, the world's second largest? I spent several hours with new bosses Jason Hirschhorn and Mike Jones last week, grilling them about their plans to push the site back into the limelight. Want to know what they said?
"Debating societies may seem to be the preserve of Oxbridge and private schools, but there is a place for debating in classrooms everywhere, argues Gemma Jones
Debating societies may seem to be the preserve of Oxbridge and private schools, but there is a place for debating in classrooms everywhere. From 'Why William Won the Battle of Hastings' to 'causes of the First World War', history is a natural subject to use debates to deepen knowledge in lessons. However, across the curriculum there is scope to engage the pupils in a structured debate to challenge misconceptions, structure arguments and encourage independent study. Additionally, participating in debates can develop confidence and public speaking skills."
In 2006 I suggested that it might be time to actually define ''Education'',
something omitted in the draft bill, and to explore its role in personal and
community life, but this was rejected as too ambitious.
This is by far the best-educated cohort in our history - on paper, anyway - but apparently lacking in courage, judgment, capacity to analyse or even simple curiosity, except about immediate personal needs.
