“Icelandic volcano: the ash cloud returns”
Uh oh…
Icelandic volcano: the ash cloud returns is the title of a new interactive from The Guardian.
I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About The Volcano In Iceland.

Performance Assessment
Deborah Meier’s education advice to Obama is an excellent column in the Washington Post about “performance assessment” in evaluating both students and teachers. This is an excellent, and useful, alternative to the evaluative processes that are used right now in schools.
Deborah Meier writes about it in the context of students:
For our nation’s students, the evaluative process should be treated less like the part of the driver’s test where we complete a pen-and-paper exam, and more like the part where we actually get in a car and show what we can do on a real road with real traffic and real-time scenarios unfolding all around us.
