Grammar and punctuation mistakes in your academic writing are just because of carelessness and ignorance. Most students do not pay attention to punctuation and lose marks in coursework, assignments, and exams. While writing your co

Working on assignments is the toughest task that students have to go through during their academic life. With so many things going on, completing an assignment on time and doing a great job is not easy; many students end up losing interest as they are so stressed that they fail to realize how significant these assignments could be for them and how to help them succeed in class. With so much happening in their academic as well as personal life, students are busy and they even have trouble making

"We recommend discussing explicitly the purpose, associated practices, and changed roles that the use of Essential Questions entails. Here are some examples of key ideas framed as sentences to be spoken in class to prepare students for the changes: "There's not a single correct answer for this question. Life is about the consideration of plausible and imperfect alternatives." "Coming to understand important ideas is like fitness: it takes practice over time." "When a question is posted on the wall, it means that we are going to consider it again and again." "Inquiry is not a spectator sport: each of you needs to listen actively and participate." "Everyone is fair game. I won't only call on people who raise their hands." "If and when I or others challenge your comment, it doesn't mean we don't like you or don't value your contribution." "Making mistakes is an expected part of learning. If you never take a risk of making a mistake, you're not likely to improve." "You may find that you are re-considering things that you thought you understood. That is normal - even desirable." Like the care of seedlings, the new rules will require patience, careful nurturing, and constant reminders. Overtime, they will become the norms, allowing big ideas to take root and mature understandings to blossom."

Great post about adding a human touch to online learning. Excellent, pithy ideas about regular follow-up with students and enriching curricula.

A school leader is always on the go. She needs to stay connected, have access to existing digital media, create new media, collaborate, and communicate. An iPad is a great tool that allows users to have their email, calendar, communication tools, newsfeeds, presentations, teacher/student interaction documentation, and notes all on one small device! The number of apps can be overwhelming, so I always suggest having your main productivity apps on the first screen. Move your secondary, less important, and entertainment apps to a separate screen. Let's create a digital backpack with your iPad.

Some surprising thoughts about how social media use actually correlates with better academic performance.  Note from Miriam: To be fair, better social connectedness in general probably has more to do with doing well at school than social media per se. But there are so many new possibilities and uses for social networking sites that whatever connections already exist can only be amplified and empowered online.

Fascinating, student-driven project from Mozilla. Also great example of use of HTML5.
