  • 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

      I have never heard this... ????
  • The most practical solution is to locate one or two assessment books written specifically for in-the-trenches educators.

      Reading Twitter posts isn't like reading a book.  You don't start at the top and read everything that was ever posted, you need to just set aside a few minutes and 'dip' in and read what is going on and then exit.  Do not get bogged down in making sure you read everything from everyone or you will immediately become overwhelmed and not want to come back!
  • managing the constant flow of information on Twitter.
  • Twitter’s search feature to find people in your field
  • follow educator-related "hash tags."
  • a hash tag is used to organize a live "chat" event, where participants sound off by tweeting about a given topic.
  • attend one of the many education-related Twitter chats that happen each week, such as #edchat on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. EST.

    "Twitter, it's a social networking platform where users share everything from what they had for breakfast to professional dilemmas - all in 140 characters or less. It attracts a wide spectrum of users, including a vast and growing contingent of educators."

    Straightforward, simple explanation of Diigo benefits for students. According to one of the comments, students can highlight specific information from a site as opposed to just bookmarking an entire page. I like that idea for students who are overwhelmed by info or forget what parts they found useful.

      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.

  • Getting together as a faculty should be about focusing on curriculum and instruction, and more importantly focus on our students.
