The project was spear-headed by April Requard--the school's technology director.

This is a persuasive blog on what we should strive for in our classrooms each day. The author, Starr Sackstein - a NYC high school English teacher, suggests that we strive to graduate students "life-ready." My favorite sentence: "Proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening as well as technology and media integration illustrates a readiness for adult life."

Will teaching kids to code boost math SAT scores? - 1 views

Building on the excitement of Hour of Code, the article asks, "will programming raise math scores?" Answering this in the affirmative has actually been an elusive goal, from a research standpoint. (In the 1980s there were all these studies on learning "transfer" -- how ideas learned in one context can transfer to another. Intuitively, this must happen, but it's been so hard to demonstrate with scientific rigor.) This includes a nice interview with Bootstrap founder Emmanuel Schanzer about this, and how Bootstrap may help. There is a 3 day PD planned for Bootstrap in the Greater Boston area for June 25th, 26th, & 27th, 2014. If you are interested in attending please let me know asap. At this moment a fee of $100.00 per attendee will be charged. Pending funding, you may be reimbursed your fee at the workshop.
