I am up thinking about things. A funny thing happened to me. I oost a lot of information on Facebook and someone nominated me for the secretary of education. Being nominated was fun, because it was an acknowledgement. But being the real Secretary of…

I have been against the idea of NCLB since it started. I actually turned down work. My circumstances are interesting. I was a teacher of the gifted and talented. When I discovered the fluid use of technology I found that I could teach at many levels…

Hi, Bonnie, Schools trying to meet NCLB requirements remind me of students who ask "is this going to be on the test?" or "Is this for a grade?" If they can squeeze the answer out of you, that's all they will do--ignore everything else and put their…

This post is so right. The testing for one grade level is also wrong as lots of kids in 4th grades can test way above their lievels. I could add more about swimming in standards but your post is very correct. National standards, state standards, reg…

Gaming is in other places in the curriculum before college. Students who were blocked from using games during the last administration and who probably only used games at home now have permission to use games and simulations in school if the teachers…

No More Talk and Chalk, Technology and the Digital Divide Educating the Digital Natives -A New Book Offering

The digital divide is still with us. Most people collect the ideas of the divide in old ways. Marc Prensky calls the groupings
digital natives and digital immigants. I add the digitally deficient to that group and the digital pioneers.

Later in a different blog I will discuss the digital, content, infrastructure and cultural divides.

We often forget that htere are many who haven't got a clue as to the world of the Internet. Many adolescents with access
are fluent in the ways of use of internet… Continue

They Left No Child Behind in their Quest to Teach

You never hear me fuss about religious schools, or charter schools, or
most types of schools I have even taught in DODDS Schools and in a
school for dropouts. Teaching is sometimes a challenge but the nuns who
taught me were up to every challenge. So, that is one of the reasons I get fired up
when people like Michelle Rhee make fun of older teachers and do not realize that
these people and others stood in places where no one cared to teach and produced miracles.

My skill in teaching and being a… Continue

Supercomputing or not?

While everyone else is deep in 2.0 the Supercomputing is going on. Here is what we have put together for a conference. But I have limited attendance for this day. If you have friends who are in the Portland area I need your help.

The National Academy of Sciences has had hearings on STEM, on Science Learning and , gaming, simulations in education. A group of us, mostly EOT, NCWIT and others crafted a conference to further that message. This is a group of us who have worked together over months a… Continue

Cloud Computing and all of that Jazz ( Is Education being thought of?)

I love clouds.. my first images of them are from the Charlie Brown cartoons.. I think Lucy is lying on her back in a field talking about the shapes of the cloud.. Anyway , it is what I think of first when one says clouds. Then having taken lots and lots of
trips, I think of looking at clouds out of an airplane window. Or maybe thinking of storm clouds as they form and go dark. But clouds for computing? And what's that song... fragments of it float through my mind..

There is a game that I learne… Continue
