- these are great to use in the classroom, the kids love it - post by charlenehall208
- i have been wanting tag clouds that communicate more (e.g. via color and not just size of font) and that are more visually interesting (e.g. orient text in ways other than just a list) but not sure that taking on the shape of a celebrity is actually useful?! - post by janet russell

Process vs Product | November Learning
"Which is… of course why some parents feel compelled to “chip in.” If PRODUCT is “king,” then that becomes what counts, and will always overshadow the PROCESS, or the learning.
Imagine, if you would, the same evening of celebration for students, however, this time, parents watch from the sidelines as students actually create the products, or if the products on display were accompanied by audio/video/journals of what the students learned. The evening could be extended to give the students time to share their learning, but also to teach their families what they learned. Parents could be given short quizzes (created by the students) to give the students feedback on how well they taught the information. Or… after the students teach their parents the information, then the students and parents could build the final product together, all the time consulting reference material, the student’s notes, and discussing the curriculum standards being acquired. These final products could then be shared by publishing pictures of them to the Internet… or not. For the question is: what is the purpose of publication?" -

A Primer on Integrated Studies » Educational Rehab
"Several years ago, my colleagues and I recognized that students and teachers in our school were being done a disservice. In response to changing expectations in a high-accountability landscape, members of the school community were being pressed to work harder without any consideration given towards updating the necessary tools or supporting structures. Pressure to achieve higher test scores stressed individual efforts over overall school environment. By taking the broadest look at the actual roadblocks to success, we articulated the Integrated Studies Program (ISP). "

"is one of those social networking sites you should try out and perhaps monitor its development progress. Here’s why:
* It’s just for teachers and students
* It’s free
* Teachers can set up class sites where they can post announcements as well as assignments along with links and attachments for students in that particular class site.
* Students can be added to class rosters, upload files, post entries like a blog, contribute to other group projects, and more.
* Like Twitter, there’s even a Ning-like virtual teacher’s lounge where educators can interact. The biggest selling point here is that it’s easy to share documents (lesson plans, ideas, etc) a la Google Docs… something which is still not super simple on Twitter.
* It’s in beta testing now (just opened actually) so sign up here if you want to kick the tires on this new social network." -
