http://mrsheatherwoods.blogspot.com/2009/07/to-make-up-or-not-to-make-up.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. To Make Up or Not to Make Up. Is there anything I can do to get a passing grade? 8221; . How many times have each of us heard that questions two days before the end of a semester? 8220;What the heck have you been doing since the semester started? 8221; . I want to ask. Is it fair to other students to allow someone to pass who has not been showing effort throughout the semester?

Teaching2Learn: July 2009
http://lmsgreff.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. Burned by Your Firewall! How many times have educators been burned by their school’s firewall or web site filter? The number is probably too staggering to figure.

Teaching2Learn: A Test Is a Test Is a Test – Not!
http://lmsgreff.blogspot.com/2009/07/test-is-test-is-test-not.html
Thursday, July 2, 2009. A Test Is a Test Is a Test – Not! This title is borrowed from an article about achievement testing from Educational Leadership. The author states that all achievement tests are not the same. Many times when achievement tests are used as the basis for research studies the name of the test is not even mentioned. Given that achievement tests differ from each other, it is like basing research results on the comparison between apples and oranges. In conclusion, I hate to see what stand...
