  1. @SimpleLeigh All sorts of things. Just collecting resources for the first time for homeschooling for my relatives.
  2. ASCII art sure has improved. http://davidwees.com/myblog... See http://is.gd/4ViQY to make your own art.
  3. The use of Open Source software is both wide-spread and here to stay: http://is.gd/4VhIb
  4. Problem noted http://is.gd/4Vhd0 and solution posted within a day http://is.gd/4VhbR I love Open Source.
  5. My preferred web development tool has won best Open Source PHP CMS. Yay #drupal - http://is.gd/4Vh0o
  6. According to @LadyCrow I should get in touch with you, @SimpleLeigh about homeschooling resources. Any suggestions.
  7. Hrmm...never knew this before but apparently significance of R value depends on size of sample. I retract tongue in cheek about SAT scores.
  8. College board claims in paper that R = 0.3 is a medium correlation which is the opposite of every stat textbook I've read.
  9. Re: SAT study - an R value of 0.35 indicates almost NO relationship between the two variables. SAT != college grades.
  10. SAT vs First year college GPA correlation. Study by College Board shows R = 0.35. Is this any surprise? http://is.gd/4Vdm2
  11. Relationship between student ranking of teachers & student score on SAT? Anyway we can find out?
  12. Just hung out with some kids who are going to be home-schooled, all elementary age. Suggests for resources for their parents?
  13. Set up my mom's laptop with Skype and tested it with her. Looks like her long distance bill is going to drop...
  14. @mnjorgensen In many ways the internet is improving story telling, the stories come from further away and are more diverse.
  15. Does anyone know of a school using Restitution for managing student discipline issues? I'd like to visit a school with it in action.
  16. Students learn better in schools where the teachers are collegial. Hang out with the teachers in your school, it helps the kids.
  17. Make a link between your bottom lines (no drugs, no violence) with your beliefs (healthy lifestyle, safety) so that kids get it.
  18. When discussing classroom management issues with your students, think aloud, it will help your students become better thinkers.
  19. @DrGarcia Yes, and in other classes, we should move away from content as focus and move toward performance/skill based assessment?
  20. @DrGarcia That's a good idea. Measure the skill set instead of the creative attribute. Doesn't this mean every kid needs to take art?
