    You can use this site to improve your twitter connections. It is a list of authors who tweet, which is really pretty cool. It is interesting to follow some of the young adult authors my students read . Anyway, this is worth a look.

Poof! 'Template writing' on FCAT shows up in 12 districts- - 0 views

  • Writing exams from 49 schools were found to have "template writing" -- instances in which students from the same school used identical or similar phrases on FCAT essays, such as "Poof! Now I'm in dragon land." The patterns were discovered when the exams were scored. Some educators blame the problem on FCAT, the state's high-stakes test, and the pressure to score well. The phrases found repeatedly seem an attempt to showcase colorful, creative writing, and they might be viewed that way if they were used by individual children. But when many youngsters in a school write the same way, the department suspects that rote memorization, rather than good writing, is at play.

      What do we think of this practice? Do we think it's "legal?" Fair? Or, is it just a sign of the enormous pressures brought on by those tests?

    What have we done to education? Look what some schools are doing just to get past the state tests!

    Fascinating site that looks at visualizing data. Check out the twitterverse, for example. But, there are many more.

      I REALLY agree with this. Maybe not so much for elementary, but for junior and senior high I think this is a must-do. Your thoughts?
