On the heels of Senator Harkin's (D-IA) decision to ax the major teacher evaluation provision from his No Child Left Behind overhaul draft, and AAE's statement of support for educator accountability, the debate over a comprehensive bill continues to heat up on Capitol Hill. Currently, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) is in session as they mark-up the current draft of the NCLB reauthorization with the help of the full committee of senators and countless amendments.

What if you could see your students' learning outside of the classroom? Perhaps an after school job that is improving reasoning skills; or an online video game which is strengthening the ability to collaborate; or just simply a website that is assisting in the improvement of analytical reading skills. That would be nifty...yes, nifty.

Today there is a very happy 14 year-old in school. Last night, she created her own Facebook profile after months (years) of pleading to parents. Her "technology is power" aunt may have had something to do with it. And her Facebook-savvy cousin was more than happy to assist in the birth of an online profile.

Teachers, win a $500 teacher scholarship or classroom grant. Fund a field trip; subsidize your National Board Certification; purchase books for your classroom library. You DO NOT need to be a KANAAE member to apply.

Games are such a powerful tool in education, that it often saddens me that they're not used more. Especially as kids get older, we tend to think that we must be earnest and serious in what we teach, and many times games, if played at all, get relegated to review instead of taking their proper place as a way of obtaining information.
