Welcome to Common Core Tracker - 15 views

  •  
    I'm pretty sure I found this app listed by a reputable resource.  Here's why it's not yet worthy of accolades... The app is easy to get, but you also need to pay an annual access fee. It's something like $4.99, be warned, if that is mention in the app description, it could be easy to overlook. ADDING STUDENTS: to add students, you have to add each individually; fine if you have one class, but an inconvenience if you have more. The objective is to track your assignments and use of Common Core Standards. Adding an assignment does not include the ability to write a description of the assignment; it does not allow you score by a rubric; it does not allow you add comments. A lot of work still needs to be done.

Good at gardening, hopeless at engineering * Inside Story - 7 views

  •  
    Less than twenty years after the Karmel reforms one of their architects looked back in dismay at what had been wrought. "We created a situation unique in the dem­ocratic world," Jean Blackburn pointed out in 1991. "It is very important to realise this. There were no rules about student selection and exclusion, no fee limitations, no shared governance, no public education accountability, no common curriculum requirements below the upper secondary level... We have now become a kind of wonder at which people [in other countries] gape. The reaction is always, 'What an extraordinary situation.'"

The End of the Textbook as We Know It - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 11 views

  • Here's the new plan: Colleges require students to pay a course-materials fee, which would be used to buy e-books for all of them (whatever text the professor recommends, just as in the old model).
  • Why electronic copies? Well, they're far cheaper to produce than printed texts, making a bulk purchase more feasible
  • An Indiana company called Courseload hopes to make the model more widespread, by serving as a broker for colleges willing to impose the requirement on students. And it is not alone.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The real champions of the change are the college officials signing the deals.
  • "Our game plan is to bring the cost of textbooks down by 75 to 80 percent."
  • In its standard model, Flat World offers free access to its textbooks while students are online. If students want to download a copy to their own computers, they must pay $24.95 for a PDF (a print edition costs about $30)
