]]> Comment on Assessments that can be Understood by Dr. Epps http://bruce.umwblogs.org/2008/09/16/assessments-that-can-be-understood/#comment-581 Dr. Epps Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:41:29 +0000 http://bruce.umwblogs.org/?p=46#comment-581 Bruce, I hope you will find the rest of this course as significant as the DVD by Stiggins. His insight aligns the rhyme and reason of collecting data and guides the use of data. It is time for more teachers to read between the numbers on the graphs! Your journal writings are exactly what I am looking for in this class…the connections to the classroom are key! Bruce,

]]> Comment on Leadership, new Tools, and Virginia’s Internet Safety by Aunt Lee http://bruce.umwblogs.org/2008/07/05/leadership-new-tools-and-virginias-internet-safety/#comment-375 Aunt Lee Sun, 17 Aug 2008 19:47:38 +0000 http://bruce.umwblogs.org/2008/07/05/leadership-new-tools-and-virginias-internet-safety/#comment-375 For a fun way to teach internet and social networking safety, here’s a unit that includes an instructional video and a quiz. It’s aimed at middle school and up. http://www.auntlee.com/safety/ The video is a selection of silly clips supposedly posted to the MySpace pages of the famous auntlee.com puppy and some of her friends. The clips demonstrate mistakes kids can make – the clips and the quiz serve as a jumpstart to further discussions. Kids can take the interactive Flash version online, or you can download a .pdf document and print it as a handout. The 10 question quiz covers the topics of cyber-bullying, privacy, safety, dangers of spyware and malware, etc. The quiz doesn’t really focus on stranger-danger type concerns but rather gently and humorously reminds the reader that it’s possible to hurt people’s feelings, to mislead people who don’t realize you’re joking, to remember that online postings can be seen by anybody and that postings are often impossible to remove once posted.
