- THIS is a 21st Century Skill – Excellent take from Dean Shareski on why schools need to broaden the skill sets we’re developing in students.
- Twimailer Makes Twitter Email Alerts More Friendly, Useful – This appears to be a great time saver. I’m definitely going to give this a try.
- New online school model introduced – Just checked this out and it would appear at face value to be a pretty good deal. I have no idea if the courses involve student collaboration or are designed to be a traditional independent study program or not.
- Pink Slip Season Starts… – I’ve been thinking a lot about the various layoffs that will occur and I’m wondering if the state has thought about the fact that they’ll be paying unemployment for all these laid off teachers? Probably not.
