Google Docs is very powerful. Mark Wagner has shared some directions in how to create a self-graded quiz using Google docs (via Google Forms).
I’ve never been invited to be a part of something like Education Nation-probably not a big surprise. I thought this article by Stephan Lazar was really interesting. It’s a good idea to read all the way to the end of the post. An interesting description of being part of the process.

Lots has been posted over the yesterday and today about “Education Nation”. That is the, the federal government’s emphasis on education. This is an interesting post on how the issue of poverty was glossed over and ignored. Add this article about Snooki and education, and, well, you’ve got a few things to think about.(Quote: When we talk about teachers, and we try to lay all the blame on them and we say, ‘why can’t that teacher get that kid’s score up,’ watch Jersey Shore. Watch it. And tell me what teacher could possibly have reached anyone of them, to get any one of their scores up, in any subject.)
