Mixbook - make your own photobooks - 0 views

  •  
    This website is super awesome for creating photo books, and even yearbooks. It is similar to Shutterfly, but it is cheaper. Yearbooks start at $12.99 and can be completely customized. My sister found this website as a way to give her kids at school a yearbook. Since the only cost is if you order a product, one thing she mentioned is to have a class yearbook that can be emailed to parents and viewed by anyone with the URL.

    PurposeGames is a web site for learning and having fun at the same time. Not possible? Think again. It all started while playing a famous trivia game with friends and family, realizing how little I knew about Geography. I wanted to get better at it, but could not achieve this by simply studying an Atlas.

Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Practice - 0 views

  • According to The New York Times, a new federal study shows that nearly a third of the states lowered their academic proficiency standards in recent years to stay ahead of sanctions under NCLB.
  • Not so long ago the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education was presented with a proposal to increase from two to three the number of years of mathematics required for graduation. The proposal was in response to expected changes in state standards as well to similar changes enacted in peer districts. How could Boulder Valley School District hold its head up if it required less math for graduation than was needed for college entrance? To their credit the Board voted the increase down. Their reason? They knew that changing the way math was taught from kindergarten through high school was the only way to prepare all students to take and pass more demanding high school math requirements. In the absence OF such change, the outcome of an increase in requirements would have been either a higher drop out rate, or watered down math classes that all students could nominally pass. And as hard as it was to admit, they knew they did not yet have the resources needed to make the needed changes in mathematics education. And so they resisted the satisfaction of having done something to raise the bar until they could do something to change learning. Would that other policy makers had the same courage.
