• Finally, I demo’ed RSS, as a tool for not just finding information, but for  training information to find you.  So much more to finding information  today.

• • What might you think of as a teacher?
    
    Could students use this as a tool as well?

  • The lunar eclipse was really cool - what is more cool is that we can use Diigo to make notes for our students!!!

• I am convinced the one area in which educators can get the best return on the investment of their time is helping collaborative teaching teams focus on and become proficient in developing local classroom assessments to be given to all students in the same grade level or course. In this process, teachers would work collaboratively to:

• Analyze state and local curriculum guidelines and recommendations of professional organizations for what all students should know and be able to do at the conclusion of a grade level or course.

   

  2. Agree on the essential outcomes of each unit of instruction.

   

  3. Develop common assessments to be administered to all students regardless of who is teaching the course.

   

  4. Establish proficiency standards – the performance level each student must reach to be deemed proficient in each intended outcome.

   

  5. Administer the test to all students.

   

  6. Review the results, identify and assist students who need additional opportunities to master the outcomes, and discuss ideas to improve on the collective level of achievement.

• INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?"
• Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.
• • Intuition is a slippery slope. It can help guide decisions, yet decisions are made without evidence/facts. How is intuition best utilized in a team setting?
