this is an excellent meta-analysis of surgeon perceptions vs. actual predictive data on the survival rate and some variables that were not considered in the past. PLUS, this would be a great article to explain how to do excellent meta-analysis research in education.

This would be a great example of the types of research that teachers can do to improve practice. The authors have explained various types of research better than most texts.

the larger percentage of educators never even dressed for it. They are still in their houses sitting around in their pajamas. This does not mean that they are not doing their job. It means that they are not interacting with others at a party.

  Tom, are you saying that the vast majority of teachers are sitting around in their pajamas at home, BUT NOT in interactive groups, not in a PLN? I didn't get this on the first read.

We need to deal with PLN’s in Professional Development workshops. We need to Email links to colleagues who do not use Twitter, Nings, or Wikis. We need to have students develop PLN’s as a source of learning. We need to connect those who need to be connected and then we can all learn as professionals in our pajamas.
