"Information evaluation is the single most important concept that we are responsible for teaching. Yet…
Getting back to the subject of this thread, the vision thing isn't predicting the future faves or grasping the basic function of a tool. While I agree with "nmorris" that seeing an analogy between a new tool's functions and an old problem provides a…
Nice idea - we're looking for ways to make the feedback process more effective. Currently there isn't a way to do this - but I'll put it into the "to do" list for discussion. Thanks!
When an idea like this is presented, our first (internal) response is "Huh...?" Rather than confront the Head, it's important to understand why this solution is being proposed. For example, it may be that the person doesn't want to have to search an…

Thanks for your kind comment about my Seussian SketchUp walkthrough. I'd love to be able to spend a summer afternoon there... provided I had a water proof anti-gravity belt.

Thanks for your input! We have a liberal filtering policy which only blocks, porn, gambling and hate sites. My teachers have been upset because they do not want to be the Facebook "police". We set up a disciplinary OU that restricts access to any fu…
We don't block facebook at our school. I actually just did a history research paper with my students where they created Facebook fan pages for early 19th century reformers. Anyway, during class, when kids are using their computers, I circle around t…
