  • The Privatization Infatuation In 2007, the second year of our Think Tank Review Project (thinktankreview.org), we reviewed 18 think tank reports about education policy. Time after time, our reviewers identified analyses that led inexorably to a privatization prescription. Even reports that offered a reasonable analysis of the No Child Left Behind Act or the dropout problem suddenly and groundlessly identified as the key policy implication of their findings the need for vouchers or other forms of privatization. ...

    provides the public, policymakers, and the press with timely, academically sound reviews of selected think tank publications. Reviewers for the project apply academic peer review standards to reports from think tanks and write brief reviews for the project website. They are asked to examine the reports for the validity of assumptions, methodology, results, and strength of links between results and policy recommendations.

The reviews, written in non-academic language, are intended to help policy makers, reporters, and others assess the merits of the reviewed reports.

    One of my favorite topics to discuss. And why do we think the SAT is going to be redesigned for Class of 2016? Clearly because we need to align it to the Common Core. More info to come on this....what do you think John?

  • Get a life and stop working so much," this person implored me
  • My work is my life.  I enjoy my projects, and technology enables me to easily integrate my work and personal life. The notion of leaving work at work is a remnant of the industrial revolution. Most of us are paid to think, and you just can't shut it off when you walk out the office door each evening. That's why some of my greatest business breakthroughs happen when I am not "at work."
  • . So please don't tell me to get a life.

  • Teachers can connect to their students on a wider level as well as on a personal level.Interactions can be taken beyond the classroom as Twitter is omnipresent in our smartphones and laptops.Twitter allows for customization of learning depending on the student i.e. differentiating learning for different students.Twitter can be used to quickly connect to multimedia resources (e.g. YouTube or Vine) and turn education into edutainment.Twitter gives new opportunities to connect to other learning communities and new educational content.The very nature of Twitter – brief and to-the-point makes for rapid broadcast of learning

    Again, I agree but educational technologies are difficult to move forward in classrooms, at least I can say that it is tough this year with AchieveNJ, Common Core, & PARCC all being implemented at once. I think we are on the way and getting the word out....let's see how much we grow in 2 years.

  • You may be skeptical of edcamps, but you shouldn't be. They are much more engaging, and widely held than you may think. According to Kristen Swanson, Senior Educational Research Leader at BrightBytes, and co-founder of the Edcamp Movement, "Edcamps are more than just an idea or theory; they're an international movement. The model has been replicated in 41 states and dozens of countries worldwide. Over 25,000 educators have participated in a regional Edcamp event, and many more have participated in an Edcamp-style event at their school."   Considering how grassroots edcamps are, it's going to be interesting to what happens, when the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) holds their edcamp in June.
