An interactive web site with educationally appropriate activities
online for 2nd graders; this was perfect for my needs. I have already
had children on it practicing their Math Facts and sight words
without "paper" flash cards. Just a more exciting way
to learn...children love being on the computer.

A paper on "Authentic Writing Assessment." In the essay,
the authors suggest that new ideas in authentic writing assessment
are going beyond the stand-alone writing class, integrating the
skills development" outside the box" in to all subject
areas. I just saw the other day on News 12's "educator of
the week or month" a writing teacher who taught shop classes
writing as a element of that vocation rather than like writing
for a literature class.
