6 Online Presentation Tips from 60-Second Lectures | Mission to Learn
- The site really provides a nice little laboratory for what works and what doesn’t when trying to deliver brief, high impact content.
School of Arts & Sciences - University of Pennsylvania
I wonder if this idea of 60 second lectures could take hold in an English or Social Studies class, for example. Watch Charles Bernstein's "What Makes a Poem" clip. Clever. Would this be a good hook with your students?

Is this a sign of things to come? What do YOU think of the idea of punishing the kids who don't come to school yet get good grades?
- While the attendance rate for the district is very good, Stockman said, 26.6 percent of the Top 50 students in the district’s seven high schools have missed between 10 and 19 days of school and 6.3 percent missed 20 days or more.
- “We have students who miss 50 days of school and graduate in the Top 50 of their class. And we know the reasons. A lot of them are working on Florida Virtual School to get (Advanced Placement) and honors credits.”
- students who have accrued 10 or more absences in a semester to the intervention team to be considered for denial of credit. Credit denial results in an “L” being placed next tot he semester grade on the student’s report card and in the student’s grade history. The grade will not be figured into the student’s grade point average.
- Stockman said the consequences reflect the School Board’s philosophy that “the classroom experience is of unique value and it cannot be duplicated by make-up work. Student interaction and the development of ideas through discussion are lost when a student is absent.”

More on the Wolfram Alpha search engine. An interesting read.
- Stephen Wolfram told Chronicle.com that computer-algebra systems like Wolfram|Alpha actually improve education - because they allow students to explore complex problems on their own and intuitively determine how functions work, rather than just learn rote processes. Wolfram claimed that "it's better to let them [students] stand on that platform and go further."
