| Where We Stand: A Conversation with Ron Thorpe, Part 2 |
| Written by Sheila Riley | |
| Wednesday, 24 September 2008 05:19 | |
Nothing less than America’s place on the world stage is at stake unless our approach to our children’s lives and education dramatically alters. Without systemic changes, the global political and economic power base will shift from the U.S. to other countries. And if that happens, it will be too late to do anything about it. That’s the opinion of Ron Thorpe, Vice President and Director of Education at New York’s Thirteen/WNET, America's most-watched public television station. |

| Grouping For Success |
| Written by Harry Grover Tuttle | |
| Wednesday, 01 October 2008 05:00 | |
Situational groupings help support and focus students in key areasSituational grouping is exactly what it sounds like: Students are
grouped based on the frequent formative assessments that occur in the
classroom, so the students in each group and the purpose of each small
group differ and these groupings change frequently. |

| Podcast Rubrics |
| Written by Harry Grover Tuttle | |
| Monday, 22 September 2008 05:00 | |
Can educators use a podcast rubric to evaluate student standards-based learning?The actual student learning of the academic standard often counted for 1/6 or less of the rubric grade. Therefore, educators cannot use such a podcast rubric to evaluate student standards-based learning. A non-weighted or non-refocused podcast grade means very little (or nothing) in terms of content learning. |

| Tagging for Education to Help Other Educators |
| Written by Harry Grover Tuttle | |
| Monday, 01 September 2008 05:00 | |
|
A teacher may have a put up a class Web site, a blog, a wiki, pictures on Flickr, videos on YouTube, or social bookmarks. That teacher may produce excellent resources that can benefit other teachers.

| Book Review of A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule The Future |
| Written by Lane Mills | |
| Thursday, 29 May 2008 18:40 | |
A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule The FutureBy Daniel PinkRiverhead Books, New York, 2005. 260 pages $10.00 for softcover 2006 updated edition As a die-hard left brainer, I found the title of Daniel Pink’s text, A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule The Future, some cause for concern. Questions arose for me, such as: “Am I now an endangered species?” and “Will no one want to hire me?” Pink’s premise is not one of extinction for hard-core left-brain analytical types such as myself, but, rather, a guide to the transformation of our culture and senses needed to thrive in his explanation of our right-brain needy society. |

| Tech Director Series: Care and Feeding of Tech Staff |
| Written by Lane Mills | |
| Wednesday, 14 May 2008 14:10 | |
|
Leading a school district’s technology program is not for the faint of heart. There is never enough time in the day or money in the budget to solve all the problems. A key factor to helping manage the onslaught of issues is a strong and supportive team. With all the changes and demands of integrating technology across the range of district functions, support staff for technology are assuming a growing number of roles. Gone are the days when the technology team simply repaired equipment, provided training and managed network users. Those specialized activities have been replaced by a myriad of tasks more “mission critical” than ever to the success of a school district. Much emphasis is placed on developing and supporting our teachers and administrative leaders - and technology staff should not be overlooked. Spending time to reflect on the care and development of your technology staff should be a part of the planning process for every district technology leader. From improving departmental coverage to helping staff attain their professional goals, there is no shortage of areas on which to focus. |

| Building A Grant Writing Guide: Part 1 |
| Written by Douglas Brooks | |
| Monday, 08 September 2008 05:00 | |
|
The heart of the process is the “Grant Writing Guide.” My GrantSuccess process evolved from writing many technology integration grants on very short timelines. Over the course of a decade, I was asked to guide many teams of teachers as they applied for state funded computers. In these applications, many questions needed to answered. Are we eligible? What do we have to do? How will the writing get done? How will we find the time? It was out of this tension that GrantSuccess evolved. The heart of the process is the construction of the “Grant Writing Guide.” This column uses the Martha Holden Jennings’ Grant-to-Educators to show what a “Grant Writing Guide” looks like. |

| Written by Douglas Brooks | |
| Monday, 01 September 2008 05:00 | |
I am fresh from an invited presentation at a regional technology professional development conference organized for classroom teachers. Someone else was also on the program doing a session on grant writing, in a session scheduled well before mine. How could I pass up the opportunity to see what someone else was sharing with classroom teachers about grant writing?
