California Bill Would Force Colleges to Honor Online Classes – NYTimes.com

Being in this world I was happy to see our innovations being shared. When I read the comments (unfortunately closed ATM) I became aware of the largely unfavorable reactions to solutions that we are a part of. I was shocked. So many people willing to throw stones and to assign conspiratorial motivations to the “improvements” being introduced.

chemicalsams: There Is No Such Thing as THE Flipped Class

“The term “Flipped Classroom” is being thrown around a lot lately in both positive and negative light. I think the term is a bit ambiguous and does not fully do justice to all that is being done under the guise of the Flipped Classroom. My colleague, Jon Bergmann, and I have a book coming out soon that I hope brings clarity to what most of us mean by “The Flipped Classroom.” In the mean time, I hope to shed some light on some of the confusion, critique, and hype.

Second-Graders At Elmwood Franklin School Edit NFL Tweets For Bad Grammar (PHOTOS)

“NFL players steal the spotlight for lots of reasons. Proficiency in grammar has never been one of them. Mark Saldanha, a second-grade teacher at Elmwood Franklin School in Buffalo, N.Y., decided to use that to his advantage last week, when his class selected tweets from NFL players — and then corrected them.”
