http://mrsheatherwoods.blogspot.com/2009/07/to-make-up-or-not-to-make-up.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. To Make Up or Not to Make Up. Is there anything I can do to get a passing grade? 8221; .

Monday, July 13, 2009. Burned by Your Firewall! How many times have educators been burned by their school’s firewall or web site filter? The number is probably too staggering to figure. But, it is a lot! Web site filters are put in place in schools that receive federal funds to buy computers. According to the Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000. I believe that we are better off teaching students about online safety than relying on a filter to do the job for us. Many courses, such as I-Safe. Superv...

Teaching2Learn: A Test Is a Test Is a Test – Not!
http://lmsgreff.blogspot.com/2009/07/test-is-test-is-test-not.html
Thursday, July 2, 2009. A Test Is a Test Is a Test – Not! This title is borrowed from an article about achievement testing from Educational Leadership. The author states that all achievement tests are not the same. Many times when achievement tests are used as the basis for research studies the name of the test is not even mentioned. Given that achievement tests differ from each other, it is like basing research results on the comparison between apples and oranges. In conclusion, I hate to see what stand...

Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Twitter 2:the new voice of Freedom? What a difference a week makes. Amidst the mountains of complete airless nothingness, there seemed to be an hint that something good could come out of this seemingly unnecessary and time wasting technology. There are some out there pounding the Twitter drum with limited effect, so it seemed Twitter needed some ground shaking event that it could be applied too in order to make it's potential known. And his desire to burn Israel to the ground.
