  I recently saw on KDKA, or some other Pittsburgh news affiliate, that the best or most accurate indicator of student performance is socioeconomic status (which I've seen eslsewhere). This study becomes more interesting with the results with a poorer community and it's positive outcomes.

  If reading shouldn't be done online or within technology, should books be written by hand so the author may better understand it?

  I sometimes wonder how the use of technologies could change our physical appearance. Will our heads become larger as our minds get "bigger," could our eyes begin to bulge as we stare are more screens, will our thumb joints grow while the tip shrinks to increase typing speed? It these traits are socially beneficially and increase the potential for being passed on, how might the human of the future appear?

  It is easy to want instant gratification, but I've found that delayed gratification usually pays off more. Though many, espcially at a younger age, are often motivated by short term more than long term.

  This is one reason for teaching to students interests and incorporating them within content. By fostering interest we help students develop their passion and increase each aspect of life for that person and for others who benefit from greater creativity within that field.

  The essence of reading is change. I never thought of this before, but if we aren't changing as we read are we really reading?

  The skills mentioned here are those of a critical thinker. Developed problem solving that requires one to engage in seeking and deconstructing information to synthesize a solution. Then a new skill I hadn't before considered, sharing your findings in a concise and easily understood way. I am going to try this for my research projects. I will still incoporate the "research this (blank)" but will also implement research a problem and create a solution too

I've lost count of how many times I've heard about the efficacy of more frequent formative assessments as a tool to guide instruction within the past few months. It's as if the pop quiz is returning and research is behind it.

I recently attended a conference by John Collins who discusses several strategies to incorporate more evidence based writing. He suggests more impromptu quizzes that allow students to share their ideas, do so quickly as to maximize instructional time, build the ability to write and trust your ideas, and with a system that places the work on the learners.
