I wish my teachers had this technology available to them.

In these days of "grade level complex text" it will become increasingly important for us as teachers to key into lexile level. This site makes it easy for teachers in NYState to find grade level appropriate articles for virtually anything they teach.

Very interesting article. I am always wondering what the future will bring. What I love about Khan's approach is that he teachers in ten minute increments. I SOOOOOO believe in less is more.

I know what you're saying about correct content, but as someone interested in philosophy, i ask, What is correct? I know he does a lot of math/science stuff, I guess that is a bit more black and white but when you are presenting theory, so much is left to the interpretation of the instructor. As I meet and talk to more and more fresh graduates of education programs, I am left asking myself the same questions that the critics are posing of this guy--what is the quality and correctness of content they are receiving? Some are very blessed to receive thorough, up-to-date information. Others, not so much. I guess when it comes to teaching and learning, it's a lot like gathering information on the web--you have to know the quality of the source.

Delayed response, but -- as for content, I mean getting a specific philosopher's ideas straight-- if the guy said that Rousseau wanted slavery, I'd just shut him off. That's what I meant by content. If he were to be presenting math/science as he is, he should just make it clear that he has a follow-up video to clarify any misinformed/unclear previous videos.

Great resource for teachers

Blog for teachers--this post is especially for primary teachers. Look what these kids are doing. Their learning is so interactive!

Getting involved in twitter as a collaborative learning resource? Everything you need to know about #edchat

A great reminder--should be read at the beginning of every school year.

Being that I'm trying out this experiment with Matthew, I sense that I might become a strong proponent when working with teachers. This spot was recommended via another group I belong to. Might be worth checking out. Blogging without a lot of the security concerns.

REally well done--what I like about this blog is that the recommendations are short videos. I watched them all and I LOVE The Educational Change Challenge and the Kevin Honeycutt video.

Great blog post for starting the beginning of the school year.

Some additional thoughts about how to do teacher evaluations right

Great list, some I know, others I don't. What I love is that these are tried and true favorites from an experienced teacher.

I am bookmarking this because as I try to convince many teachers of the importance of diigo as a learning tool, this outlines WHY so nicely!

A reminder from a young child that in order to prepare them for the future, we gotta get with the times.

Looks like this was a site put together by school in AZ to support teachers in movement toward balanced literacy instruction. Very informative with good resources.

Learning to think differently. How can this video help teachers rethink what they already know?

We need to value reading instruction in the content area--this teacher does!

Thought might be interesting to look at some of these articles because of the inner circle debate going on around this film
