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...

I'm Forever Learning: Twitter 2:the new voice of Freedom?
http://imforeverlearning.blogspot.com/2009/06/twitter-2the-new-voice-of-freedom.html
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.

Thursday, May 28, 2009. I titled this blog "Beyond Bindings" because it describes the changing status of school library media centers today. It is one of the most exciting evolutions happening in education. The library media center has morphed into a center for acquiring information in myriad forms. Today's library media specialist can now hold the key to a world beyond the walls of the library. Check out this link about Library 2.0. Http:/ library20.ning.com/. Links to this post.

Beyond Bindings: Digital Storytelling
http://tgredesky.blogspot.com/2009/07/digital-storytelling.html
Saturday, July 18, 2009. July 18, 2009 at 3:07 PM. I loved this presentation! This briefly addresses the issue of the ever changing position of the librarian but the stagnate view of the position. We can keep changing this image as we take our roles very seriously and integrate technology in our libraries. But again, this is a great presentation. And I enjoyed the model of digital storytelling. Thanks, Toni! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. What I'm Reading Now.
