A Ning Question
Last year 75% of my writing students passed the standardized test. Wow. Our teachers are doing a great job!
What will happen this year?
I'm anxious to try NING and have set up two networks: one for current 7/8 students and one for alumni in high school. I'm very excited to have a spot for them to collaborate and share and WRITE :)
I do have a question: How do I turn off the "embed this photo" option. I discovered in our family Ning that even if the photos are labeled as "view only by friends… Continue

Test Tension
Last year's scores will soon be released. What do they mean, and how have they changed education? Are we now just teaching to the test instead of teaching to the child -- the child's needs with regards to becoming a thinking, caring, productive person? Are we causing children to lose talents because they aren't exposed any more to art, music, and the joy of learning?

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this virtual ning network is no exception. My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you worked at a middle school, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales
