Take motivation for example, Guthrie and Wigfield have long shown its wonderful predictive power. @skrashen has demonstrated how pwerful access to books can be in literacy outcomes. Do these count in @nctq definition of "quality reading?" No. Why? Too hard to measure

But isn't about #cs4all. About a fundamental shift in literacy practices, new socio-technical systems that may require a rethinking of philosophies of knowledge. Not a problem of code but of meaning. To me, give a kid a domain, let them play. Save society.

First idea that NAEP scores haven't moved becuase teachers do not use "brain based research" total hogwash. Not sure where full court media press came on "brain based" but probably because they watered down "research based" needed something else to blame on teachers.

#edu407 this says so much about horrendous inequity in our society, how we ignore school violence when it isn't a mass white shooter, but most importantly about the resilience of Young Americans who want to reflect and find answers.

Save local news & local commerce from facebook. Came across a wounded traveler on the road and slit their throat, only to turn around and offer the locals "help in replacing the bard." Local web can save the local news. Local web builds literacy. Website = pencil
