An Eye on the Alma Mater

Elsewhere in the EduSphere

Books That Make You Think






















The 113th Carnival of Education, hosted this week by Getting Green, has on its roster some of the week’s best education articles from the blogosphere.

This week’s All-Star Team:

  • Buckhorn Road comments on the United Kingdom’s wholesale order of kid gloves for their history teachers [He’s also linked to the original Dept. of Education and Skills report, if you haven’t seen it].
  • HUNBlog talks about whether to ground kids’ imaginations in reality or encourage their minds to run wild. His solution makes sense.
  • Right Wing Nation educates teachers on how they can use basic statistics to evaluate and improve their teaching. Please, teachers: read this post. I’m begging you.
  • Scheiss Weekly compares the Goofuses to the Gallants in a normal, everyday setting. It won’t be hard to draw parallels with our schools.
  • Scenes From the Battleground tells us how effective education would be for his students “If Only They Didn’t Have to Learn.” [nota bene: I wish his cheek a speedy recovery; I believe his tongue busted through it while writing the post].

You can read the full Carnival here, including my submission about evaluating the Advanced Placement system.

A note from the Wonks, who will host next week’s Carnival:

Next week, The Carnival comes home to The Education Wonks. The deadline for submissions is: 9:00 PM (Eastern) 6:00 PM (Pacific) Tuesday, April 10th. Submissions may be sent to: owlshome [at] earthlink [dot] net . Contributors may also use Blog Carnival’s handy submission form.

If you’re interested in some other good stuff [not just education], you can see the best of what I’ve read this week by going to my del.icio.us.

Thank you for the link and reassuring me that at least somebody understood that it was tongue in cheek. I was beginning to wonder if everybody out there genuinely thought I didn’t want my students to learn.
