    Very interesting article about badges and how they should be used for authentic learning and not as a 'gold star'.  It appears you can use a plug in if you are a wordpress user to showcase student badges.  Interesting...

  • Most of today's public school educators were never required, as part of their preservice or inservice training, to dig meaningfully into the viscera of educational testing

      I was never required to take any assessment courses at UCM.  I don't think they were even offered.
  • A second reason for educators' unfamiliarity with testing is that many of them regard assessment as a complex, quantitative arena well beyond the comprehension of mere mortals

      When you first try to flip a meeting for your building, it might not go exactly as planned.  Keep in mind to flip what needs to be direct instruction and then engage in deeper conversations as a staff when together.  I really like the idea of using video gathered from classrooms to get conversations started.  You can't focus on everything at once.  Pick one or two things and focus your conversations around these important points.
  • through flipping, administrators can send out these articles and questions in order to give teachers the proper amount of thinking time so the ultimate conversations are more enriching.
  • The flipped faculty meeting approach offers administrators and educators the opportunity to dig down deeper and get to the heart of what matters in school.

      Titan pad is very interesting - but will only record up to the first 16 people as unique colors.  One way to make sure everyone is participating is to group them and watch as the conversations are color coded according to groups!

      If you are going to use a screencasting software - an easy one to use is screen-cast-o-matic.  It will give you an .mp4 file that can be easily uploaded to YouTube.  The free version of Jing gives you a .swf file and that has to be converted before loading to YouTube.  Make sure you test the software before you invest time in recording.

      Love this! If my students are working on something online, they constantly email links back and forth to themselves. This is such an easy way for students to share links and work together without trying to figure out group emails- it can be a lot for a 10 year old!
  • Classes could supplement their textbook with information from the web. Diigo could facilitate student discussions about the bookmarks. Annotations could be used to gauge student thinking.

    OK--I know I am a little late to this rodeo...but I LOVE BADGES! I think it is the overachieving Girl Scout that is coming out in me (I had to have 2 sashes because I earned so many GS badges when I was a little girl!). Just set up badges for math and science for the first quarter to coordinate with the main learning objectives. Hopefully this will be a new encourager for the kids.
