"Arthur Benjamin is a wizard at maths. Literally. At Hollywood's Magic Castle, the world-famous conjurer's club, he wows the crowd by multiplying big numbers — quick, what's 57,682 squared? — faster than you can use a calculator. Here he shares three cool tricks" - Joel Zehring from Bookmarklet

"Today we see the Obama administration using federal dollars to bribe states to pursue remedies that are highly contested and whose results are uncertain. They do this in the name of "reform," but today anyone with a plan—good or bad—calls himself or herself—a "reformer." Calling something a "reform" does not mean that it will improve education." - Joel Zehring

Google Apps Education Edition is an ever-expanding workspace. Currently I have access to a start page, email, calendar, documents (including presentations and spreadsheets with web-based forms), sites (webpage creation), and contacts. When students log into their documents account, they are presented with an array of options for creating, sharing, labeling, and storing projects (see Figure 1). When students open a document, they will find features common to any word-processing program. The powerful difference is the language of 21st-century learning built directly into the application. The names of the features invoke a mind-set of collaborative teaching and learning. Students can share documents (see Figure 2) and define the type of use (e.g., collaborator) other people may have (see Figure 3). - Joel Zehring

"Vision statements are designed to show what your school would look like in action if you were completely meeting your building's mission. Vision statements become a form of a multi-year plan for schools.  All decisions and actions are connected directly to individual items in the building's vision statements.  While the list can seem overwhelming at first, it is manageable in that each of the items included can be approached individually." - Joel Zehring from Bookmarklet

This could be great, if it works with Google Apps Education Edition. - Joel Zehring
