  Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day... — Authority: 545
  Practicowl is a new site that lets teachers easily create tests (fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice) for students who are “enrolled” in the class to take. Teachers can then see the test results. It seems fairly easy-to-use, though I haven’t spent a whole lot of time checking it out. If you do, let me know ...

  MV=PQ: A Resource for Economic Educators — Authority: 429
  Over the weekend, I ran across a short article at American.com , the site of The American Enterprise Institute . It was relevant, because my class had only recently discussed the types of unemployment and were about to delve into policy impact on economic problems. The piece, by Arnold Kling of George Mason ...

• Teaching From Afar: Using Twitter While Absent

  
  tweenteacher.com — Authority: 108
  I’ve always been a multi-tasker. It frustrated my own teachers at times in that I always needed to be doing two things at once in order to be fully alert. My brain worked like riding a bicycle: if I only moved slowly, my attention span fell over. And during my most recent Edutopia meeting, I was no less occupied. ...

  Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day... — Authority: 545
  The idea of “Personal Learning Networks,” a group of colleagues with whom you can gain and give support and professional advice, is certainly not a new idea.

  MV=PQ: A Resource for Economic Educators — Authority: 429
  Heres something light to start off the weekend. Thats one way to reform Social Security, although it sounds like the old idea of "we have children to secure our old age." I posted on some research about that recently.

• Subsidized Risk

  
  MV=PQ: A Resource for Economic Educators — Authority: 429
  I ran across this opinion piece  in todays issue of The Wall Street Journal. I think it does a very good job of explaining how institutions introduce moral hazard to the larger system. (And I love the image.) The changes that result from policy are sometimes subtle, but they eventually get to be assumed. And we ...

  Finally, heres a very thought-provoking opinion piece from yesterdays edition of The Boston Globe  on how incentives set up to promote one policy can have a negative effect on another, creating negative externalities that have to be accounted for in the process. Unintended consequences are a result of any ...

  MV=PQ: A Resource for Economic Educators — Authority: 429
  If you’re looking for some current issues to help illustrate your discussions about prices (how they are set, how they influence behavior, how they are influenced by behavior, how they act as a rationing mechanism, etc.) you could do worse than a couple of stories that have popped up over the past few weeks. You ...

  I thought readers might find it useful for me to list in one post some useful (at least in mind ) pieces I’ve written about my own teaching practice over the past year. It was certainly a helpful exercise for me to review them. There are some posts that could have been included here, but, instead, I’ve decided ...

  As I did in last year’s The “Best” Articles About Education — 2008 and in the previous year’s The “Best” Articles About Education — 2007, I’ve put quotes around the word “Best” in the title of this list since I’m sure there are many, many articles about education I have not read and posted ...

  This  is a humorous follow-up to my post of a couple days ago on jobs created and saved. It is from one of The Wall Street Journal blogs and explains why counting jobs saved/created is very difficult and may even be impossible. This can also be filed under "an anecdote is not data, but the plural of anecdote ...
