• Grading PolitiFact: Sarah Palin and the cost of health care

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 128
  Is Robert Gibbs still giving press briefings? It seems as though the media are obsessed with fact-checking conservatives these days. PolitiFact has reeled off a string of entries featuring Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin. The last time PolitiFact graded a major Democrat was Barack Obama with his shocking ...

• Was Hammurabi Sent by God?

  
  kata ta biblia — Authority: 406
  Moses says so. Or something like that. This was found on a student exam for a course on Western Civilization in the History Department at UCLA: Hammurabi was a religious man and whether or not he was truly sent by the Gods is unclear. Some of the laws from Hammurabi’s Codes are later mentioned in the Hebrew Bible ...

• Data Visualization for the Classroom: Part I

  
  What It's Like on the Inside — Authority: 115
  One of my professional goals from last year was to delve deeper into the realm of "data visualization" and think about applications to schools. There are any number of websites devoted to great visualizations of social and economic information (as well as plenty of "Infoporn"/eye candy), but Im not seeing much in the ...

  Churchill’s speeches get low marks from a computerized grading system , British educators tell The Telegraph. “ We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds.

• Grading Policy for Standards-Based Education

  
  The Thoughtful Teacher — Authority: 99
  Today’s ASCD Express featured this link to a “new voice,” Ken O’Connor , on grading for learning. Ken is not exactly a new voice. He wrote his first grading piece for the NASSP Journal (National Association of Secondary School Principals) in 1995, and I had the great fortune to take a two-day ASCD ...

• Collecting Coins No Guarantee of Profit

  
  Coin Collecting News — Authority: 485
  I recently decided to retire next January after 38 years of working for the same employer. As is the case with many of us, I simultaneously decided to dispose of most of my coin collection.

• 1857 Flying Eagle Cent Die Clashed With $20 Double Eagle

  
  Coin Collecting News — Authority: 485
  Some believe that there are as many as 60 examples extant of 1857 Flying Eagle cents clashed with a $20 Double Eagle obverse design. If this was indeed the case, it would make this a very scarce variety. However, I personally disagree with that figure and I would estimate that less than half of this estimate actually ...

• Give It Away

  
  The Core Knowledge Blog — Authority: 131
  Tout le blogosphere is high dudgeon over a North Carolina middle school fundraiser offering an extra 20 points on two tests for a $20 donation.  All of those schools that have instituted “No Grade Below 50″ policies must be kicking themselves for leaving money on the table.

• Grading PolitiFact: Glenn Becks disparagement of RomneyCare

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 128
  PolitiFact continues to fact-check non-literal language as though it is literal. A bit like the way some atheists try to find contradictions in the Bible. The issue: Glenn Beck said that Mitt Romneys healthcare plan is bankrupting the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. And then theres former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt ...

• Grading the Game: Suns 119, 76ers 115

  
  Phoenix Suns Community Blog - Fanster.com - Do you bleed deep purple? — Authority: 135
  Offense: When your team scores 119 points and shots 53% from the field there really isn’t much to nitpick about the offense. Sense the Suns have looked like something from the video game NBA Jam this season, I’ll use a quote from the game to describe Jason Richardson , “He’s heating up”. For the third ...
