Education Tube TieBy maureen on 09 May | 0 commentsI’m a sucker for online videos: From Michael Cera’s turn as Alexander Hamilton on Drunk History to break dancing babies, it doesn’t take much to amuse me—or the masses, for that matter, from the millions of individuals who view these videos. Thus, I must marvel at the gumption of the ed video spinoffs, SchoolTube and TeacherTube.

ED in 08 and the State of American SchoolsBy maureen on 06 May | 0 commentsI just found an informative and creative video put together by the folks at ED in 08 that demonstrates the U.S. dropout and global achievement crisis...and sort of makes me hungry for cheetos at the same time.

Mr. Chew, the Seattle teacher who refused to give his students the WASL,
No, we’re not talking about the Fats Domino song—just the
fact that our state missed out on $13.2 million to strengthen math and science
courses. The grant from the National Math & Science Initiative would have
provided teacher training and coaching, tutoring for students, materials and
equipment, and incentives for teachers and students. But it’s gone now, because
NMSI was unable to reach agreement with Washington schools on the terms of the
grant contract and we’re sad.
