Seester, if I sent it to you, could you do some computer magic with it?

Seth, I’m pretty sure EVERY English geek has at least ONE of those texts left over from college. My problem is that I never sold any of my English books back.

Really, CTG? I would imagine that lit books would seem MUCH more friendly than grammar texts…

Jangari, that assumes a lot of computer knowledge on my part – I’m lucky I figured out how to replace the stock image that came with the blog template….

Loved all the education related tees –

If I had the money, I would purchase all of them! They crack me up!

The English teacher you do the Math tee is probably my favorite – I’m a “math challenged” History teacher.

At first I wondered why spell check didn’t flag “summery” until I read the comment above – summery as in springish, fall-like, winteresque… LOL.
I just emailed you a promotional flyer that was sent to me at work. It will be a good topic for a future grammar Weds.

Sounds like a good show, but I have no time for regularly scheduled TV, and no money for TiVo.

I do have a grammar Wednesday request, though. I’m too lazy to look this one up myself, and I just can’t seem to remember the rule.

How do you make a non ’s’ ending plural word posessive?

I washed the children’s clothes

or

I washed the childrens’ clothes

He accidentally walked into the women’s locker room

or

He accidentally walked into the womens’ locker room

You get the idea. It’s been bugging me, but my grammar books really are packed away right now.

Thanks!

13 MarThe Future Of Higher Education

This was sent to me via e-mail from the folks at Online Colleges .

I wonder what this might look like for the K-12 environment?

Blended Learning: Where Online And Face-To-Face Instruction Intersect For 21st Century Teaching And Learning – Full Report Released.

This looks rather decent. To bad it took a recession (at least in Florida) to get online schooling into public schools on a consistent basis. As best I can tell the online classes are given in the regular classrooms during the same school times as before. In our school we have used a combination of face to face and online for 12 years, but with a difference. Our students are allowed to progress through high school at their own speed, mostly about 3 years. Most of the face to face takes place at a community college where high school and college credits are earned for the same courses. Parents are very involved in our programs. Students are exposed to various age groups as they will be the rest of their lives. We have an e-book explaining how all that a state allows can be used to the student’s and parent’s advantage to get into college and shorten overall time in school and save a small fortune.

Quality K-12 Distributed Learning.

This is a marvelous document. Thanks for alerting me to it. Such a thorough process for evaluating the appropriateness of a program/course/content. I had not previously heard of the Sussex Scheme upon which it is based, but have located a reference to that document: http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED114353&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=ED114353
