Never underestimate the power of a blog and a hungry 9-year-old girl. So what happens when a nine-year old girl starts to share picture and text about school lunches? More than you may think.

From standardized tests to graded homework, there are any number of ways to judge how students are performing academically. For teachers, who are often judged on their students' academic achievements, finding the best measurement is especially important. These are the teachers' responses to being asked which forms of student evaluation they feel are used most.

A 16 year old talks about education: "Let's raise kids to dream big and think different. America will need to re-kindle the innovative spirit that has propelled in the past. It's a do or die moment. Bring on the learning revolution!"

Online, in workshops, and even with friends, I frequently get asked What can the iPad actually do? as a sort of challenge to the worth of the device. I would rather that they ask, What can you actually do with an iPad? A look at using iPads with a focus on how an English teacher approaches the question. One example (of four) provided (and quoted): I want my students to demonstrate their knowledge of the parts of the story. Learning Objectives: In addition to learning the story elements, students learn... * To write a constructive review (plus three more objectives) Followed by a project, in this case a book poster and suggestions on what apps might be used. So perhaps the question is not what can a student do, but what can a student do with an iPad (that demonstrate their skills and expertise - think Bloom's taxonomy).

How young do we have to teach kids about plagiarism these days? And is it supremely important in this world today? Yes and no. On one hand the world decides what can be counted as plagiarism and what cannot. On the other hand, ONCE AGAIN, almost everything is game for accusations of plagiarism. I think even a children’s novel these days is as vulnerable to this as is something as huge as a movie or a piece of music. I’ll just end this scoop.it with a question... What are your thoughts on how the worlds works with copyrights and plagiarism?

Check out this "survey of young people’s attitudes toward online rights and responsibilities. Over 24,000 young people age 7-19 from across the UK responded to the survey, and a further 90 young people explored these findings in focus groups."
This post provides a look at two infographics that look at how students look at the top ten online rights and responsibilties. One infographic is for primary schools and the other for secondary schools. In addition there is a link to the actual report put out by the UK Safer Internet Centre - "Have your Say: Young people’s perspectives about their online rights and responsibilities."
