Bad news @IESResearch decided not to fund #QuestionTheWeb

In the screenshot above you will see "Not Applicable" in the final score column. Based on the email from IES this means our application was not strong enough to even warrant a discussion about funding. I am awful at writing grants....Scratch that I am good at writing grants...I spend 20-30 every week trying to write grants to help bring digital literacy educ

Thinking About Microformats and Tracking Teacher Dispositions

In #edu307, an online, writing intensive class I teach, I have to measure student dispositions, future educators.. We are using an assessment provided by TaskStream. It is a multiple domain assessment, with each domain consisting of a single item that we then rate on an ordinal scale...to which accreditation boards then treat as numerical data. That being sa

Reply to Aaron Parecki and Larry Stager

Larry I am going to reply here and on your comments (in case you do not accept webmentions). The conversation you and https://aaronparecki.com had on Twiiter has been great. Glad we incentivized you to move it off of Twitter and on to our blogs... It's like the opposite of Field of Dreams, if you ask them to leave they will (well we built a way cooler ball p

I don't want to save the dat

Been trying to use Ian O'Byrne's idea of the comm
