I will be happy to hand you a free<br />promo code if you are interested.<br />Here is a trailer preview of the game:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_wocEvW_YM<br /><br />I have combined the genres of arcade action with basic arithmetic. The<br />goal is to give the player an exciting gameplay experience while at<br />the same time train up in basic mathematics. <br />Please let me know what<br />you think!<br /><br />(I read that you felt that Math Ninja did too much of the "math bribery" thing. I would love to hear about other ideas of what you think would make math fun!)<br /><br />thanks,<br />Jiayijychonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280448099107069775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-67574445771454225472012-01-28T14:39:52.450-05:002012-01-28T14:39:52.450-05:00Practical wisdom might bright us closer to Aristot...Practical wisdom might bright us closer to Aristotle's ethics, but it takes us farther from God. <br /><br />God is properly understood as the only acceptable judge and imposer of will. Whatever direction the greater part of humanity travels in is His will; if it is toward hardheartedness and dehumanization, that is God's plan. <br /><br />Interfering with God's plan invariably puts humanity over Him.

I've been thinking a lot about how a school is an ecosystem, and how in order to make sustainable change, we must cultivate the soil--the foundational aspects that you eloquently outlined in your post, such as resources, content, and working conditions. I've also been thinking about how Permacultural precepts could be usefully applied to public education (I would be honored if you checked out one of my posts on this topic http://bubbler.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/growing-healthy-food-and-children or http://bubbler.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/public-schools-as-ecosystems-part-i). I believe that we must necessarily view education through such a holistic lens if we are going to affect meaningful and lasting change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-32253987441099090742011-07-02T11:38:59.030-04:002011-07-02T11:38:59.030-04:00There is due process in public schools and very li...There is due process in public schools and very little public oversight let alone due process in Charter schools across the country.That is the root of the problem. You can't forgo public oversight for the sake of some possible future miracle innovation, and you certainly can't gamble on the good intention of some obscure board of directors following the letter and intent of the fourteenth amendment.<br />The evidence of charter school segregation are mounting and the NAACP got it right to file a lawsuit. I am making an effort on my side of the country to stop this madness too and I appreciated your sharp, informed and good nature writing so much that i would like to maintain contact with you. My email is momzer@verizon.net.<br />We can experiment with school innovation while keeping public oversight and we should. My cousin who I am trying to convince to write a book about the power and influence of the mega foundations said while texting a few days ago: a little sun light is the best disinfectant. I fear this charter school thing and the testing is fast mutating out of the reach of antibiotics.formenuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326501047930619535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-68072605898264514312011-07-02T08:38:05.017-04:002011-07-02T08:38:05.017-04:00@ Anonymous 2: I agree on the benefits of portfoli...@ Anonymous 2: I agree on the benefits of portfolio assessment. I am not sure that all charters necessarily segregate based on poverty, but I think the incentives are too hard to resist to nudge out low scorers (public schools do this too, but don't have the same tools at their disposal).<br />I think charters can fill a role (more like Albert Shanker originally intended) but that role is not replacing traditional public schools, but complementing them.Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935627443458025397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-86418660221113346862011-07-02T02:45:24.787-04:002011-07-02T02:45:24.787-04:00Great writing n great passion...

Charters cause segregation by test scores and since test scores positively correlate with poverty and ethnicity, it is illegal to use public funds for these schools.<br />It's the testing we need to do away with but if we must we shoul use portfolio assessment where we teachers bubble up assessments n feed it into the data mining data bases if we must. <br />http://specialedvice.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-82128812224401038762011-07-01T20:15:56.271-04:002011-07-01T20:15:56.271-04:00@AnnMaria Thanks for sharing that story, that soun...@AnnMaria Thanks for sharing that story, that sounds like a great program. Free too! <br />The question to me is exactly as you pose it, what is the percent of variance explained? <br /><br />It reminds me of the case where someone is proposing some new miracle medicine that cures what ails you, but no one knows why. Let's say we do a double blind clinical trial, and find out that it really works. Great. But before we start selling it nationally, let's figure out which of the ingredients are most important. Which ones are effective? Most snake oils made you feel better because they had a bunch of grain alcohol. <br /><br />@Anonymous : Thanks for that. I appreciate reading this, and I don't dispute that the writer's (yours?) charter school worked very well. Let's support that charter school, by all means. But when the author claims that <br />"When it comes to urban education, the most reform-oriented schools are out-performing their counterparts by FAR (for an instance of how education reform opponents have gone wrong, see Linda Darling-Hammond’s recent catastrophe here), and by almost all measures"<br />I am skeptical. I don't accept that "reform-oriented" is a useful category here. Which reforms? Do you mean KIPP? Do you mean charter? Do you mean test-based accountability? Do you mean merit pay? From the studies I have seen (Fryer's, Hoxby, Credo) the results are much more mixed. <br />I think one thing the Brooks column highlights is the uselessness of broad categories of "pro" and "anti" reform. There are many dimensions of reform and we shouldn't treat KIPP or HCZ, or charters as one unified "treatment."Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935627443458025397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-24042009125610570592011-07-01T17:51:02.463-04:002011-07-01T17:51:02.463-04:00Another view of Brooks: http://conorpwilliams.word...Another view of Brooks: http://conorpwilliams.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/david-brooks-educational-theorist/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-36460793889574224322011-07-01T14:47:09.774-04:002011-07-01T14:47:09.774-04:00My 13-year-old daughter does well in school and we...My 13-year-old daughter does well in school and well on tests. This summer she is taking humanities and science 5 hours a day, for 5 weeks. Many evenings, my husband or I, both professionals with graduate degrees, spend hours helping her understand plate tectonics, the Renaissance. She signed up for the program on her own but we were so pleased that she did that we promised her an iPhone 5 at the end of it. Because it's 10 miles away, one of us gets up at 6:30 every morning to get her dressed and to school by 8. One of us takes off work for an hour to pick her up at 12:45. The program is free and offered through the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Is it the moral culture that explains her performance? Is it the hard work of her teachers? Is it the beautiful campus? Or is it all of the resources poured into her? I'd say it is some of all of those but the latter explains a huge amount of variance.AnnMariahttp://www.thejuliagroup.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-90300907595504994122011-06-27T12:54:00.190-04:002011-06-27T12:54:00.190-04:00Nice piece, but I believe it's Ms. Tufekci.Nice piece, but I believe it's Ms. Tufekci.Charles Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647211735557788002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10439744.post-17243629121992508572011-06-27T09:50:19.723-04:002011-06-27T09:50:19.723-04:00Cedar,

I felt you succinctly captured my experience of teaching. You also captured my sense as a parent who watched the same teachers have different years with different children do things differently. <br /><br />A friend of mine used the term "public learning" about an appointed government official. A process that allows for this, prior to decisions, would be of value in other fields too I think. <br /><br />I am not sure if those that I have forwarded this too will get back to you. I wanted you to know what an important piece of writing it is, especially in this climate.Cathynoreply@blogger.com
