Operation Science is a Program designed to help Improve Science Instruction in Lutheran Schools of Southeastern Wisconsin.

Thanks Ryan Rosenthal for sharing this article - Ryan says ... Interesting article talking about a small study that was done in Canada. I liked how they said that most tech instruction in the schools they looked at was focused on how to use the tech not on higher order thinking. It also mentions that the teachers on the forefront of tech teaching are not the new teachers but the ones with experience under their belt. Those teachers know how to handle the classroom and are therefore more comfortable taking the challenge of managing the students as they use tech. 

Phraseology (iPad only) and Terminology (iPhone, iPad) are two low cost, high quality integrated writing tools useful for any writing task on the go from tweets to instructions, multipage reports, sermons, etc. Terminology (iPhone & iPad), in addition to its built in dictionary and thesaurus, allows you to chose which online word tools to check and integrate into your lookups/research. Phraseology (iPad only) is a friendly editing environment which is especially useful breaking down your word/phrase usage and frequency. Pay attention to the Flesch Kincaid Reading and Grade level scores along with other readability statistics, including root word frequency, and you can improve the comprehension of your written or oral presentation. Most pastors and teachers who either compose or copy-paste-revise content taking into account Phraseology's feedback should be able to greatly improve their audience's comprehension. Interested in tired old phrase remediation or reductions in redundancies and passive platitudes? Anyone?

Courtesy of Lifehacker, thought Sallie and her boys might be interested in this one.  Could probably find some "educational" games to play on here as well... maybe not :).

Guess what Ben's Forensics demo speech is on?? RPi, of course. Gotta spread the love. :-D
