TEACHERS GONE WILD!! VERY interesting/shocking video. Check it out. Thoughts??? Feelings???

Teachers be actin'.... Wild. Seriously though, I have seen other documentaries/ newsreels of New York teacher unions... lets just say the speaker eerily reminded me of the public speaking tactics of a man whose name rhymes with Madolf Thitler. I wonder how the teachers have felt after their thoughts were exposed in this piece.

Arnie DUncan says NCLB isn't working. We might actually see the end of it soon.

Video that reviews Pearlltree, a diigo alternative for the classroom.

Inspiring video about how we need to change education.

Video booktalks: a "movie" trailer, for books! Includes lexile level, genre, and suggested reading level for each book.

While this is funny, it is also depressing. It goes to show you how poorly education is being reformed, and how little many of us know how to go about fixing it.

Jacob this was really funny, but like you said very sad at the same time. Our education system is crap and everyone knows it. There are so many people saying they have the answers, but no one is stepping up to the plate to fix it. I'm not saying I have the answers, but there has to be something we can do to make it better.

This video describes how charter schools are different from traditional public schools.

This is a good comparison. It bothers me in class how many times (older) people discuss how their son or daughter's charter/ private school scores higher on test scores than clovis or fresno unified, but they fail to understand the entire system is completely different.

Developing a professional learning network on Twitter. Good video explanation of how two teachers use Twitter.
