  1. Does it matter that research finds no evidence of different "learning styles?" Absolutely! http://tiny.cc/n6JoF
  2. @Larryferlazzo This is where the mischief starts. It's really a post about preferences. Not the same thing.
  3. @mcleod I've started a Facebook page dedicated to debunking learning styles. http://tiny.cc/f6ghu
  4. @JoanneLeeJacobs I've started a Facebook page dedicated to debunking learning styles. http://tiny.cc/f6ghu
  5. @tfteacher I've started a Facebook page dedicated to debunking learning styles. A gift to future teachers. http://tiny.cc/f6ghu
  6. has started a "Learning Styles Debunked" page on Facebook. Say no to pseudoscience and become a fan. http://tiny.cc/f6ghu
  7. w/o evidence to support "learning styles," how long until it disappears from classrooms? http://tiny.cc/z9GYr
  8. @gardenglen You *should* vary your teaching style. But because it's the best way to teach, not because of phony "learning styles."
  9. @AndresHenriquez It's the Times usual focus on what wealthy, powerful people are doing. It's not about the schools.
  10. We know buiding up background knowledge works for kids. But "what works is boring," says Randi Weingarten. http://tiny.cc/YfVWv
  11. @garystager EW says "Whether P21 can successfully convince skeptics of its good intentions remains an open question." That's good analysis.
  12. @garystager I'm also a tad surprised you think there's such a thing as objectivity. Professionalism, yes. Objectivity? Not possible.
  13. @garystager Not sure I agree. Fair for reporter to reach that judgement. Generous, in fact, in a piece that's generally critical.
  14. @garystager Sloppy how? Even in 140 characters, you've got to do more than level accusations. Sawchuk's piece looks solid to me.
  15. Just posted my nominations for the 2009 Edublog Awards. Apologies to those I overlooked. http://tiny.cc/372Ss
  16. Partnership for 21st Century Skills is run by PR people. So why such lousy PR? Edweek w/ the latest black eye. http://tiny.cc/jRtq3
  17. Islam on the curriculum is making for strange bedfellows and intolerant outbursts. http://tiny.cc/uoSST
  18. Grinding on the dance floor. In the tradition of teen rebellion? Or a step too far? http://tiny.cc/ecZQo
  19. My patience is wearing thin with "ed reformers" who don't know or care what kids actually do in school all day. http://tiny.cc/T345s
  20. Bronx high school grad can't read his own diploma. http://tiny.cc/nmfa1
