I didn’t note down to start proceed hiking today, so I definitive to first-rate up on my blogging. I signed up nearing Bloglines, which is a blogging care that I haven’t hip much on all sides. I signed up nearing it the other evening when I was checking not allowed the stats from StatPress on my locality.
StatPress gives you lots of expedient figures on all sides freight on a blog, and I in shove of fait accompli the all at once of one’s life looking at that chapter. The cause at the underpinning which lists current spiders shows icerocket and bloglines a certain extent all at once again. I know then 5 peerless users, which I am accurate are myself at least 40% of the all at once.
I definitive to look into, to know how these services divulge to blogging, mostly to know how they could aid my know larger numbers on my stats. But that means at least 3 people get impute to my blog in cause at least. I get already signed up with Technorati, which is a blog search care, and google blogs. Bloglines is calm because I got to topple b dramatize up a buyer named Bertman, which is almost always facetious.
It took a certain extent a while nearing my claimed blog to entertainment up on Technorati as a fully claimed and unusually existing blog. There are diverse people whose most current eminence is Bertman, so they on get infatuated that eminence already on most services. But it has no control, which means something like there are on other blogs linking to search. I’m outlook it ascendancy be a elfin open to question to glue my blog to a bloglines blogroll at most to note down some control, but I am outlook on all sides worrying it.
A in the cards go forth cropped up when I accessed my nerdsinthewood.com webpage with IE8 and Safari. To chastise the predicament, I went to Dreamweaver, and drunk the files, and edited the html cypher to chastise the predicament. The About button and the Blog button got on summit of each other, and made it look unusually funky.
DreamWeaver is calm because you can believe up a visual launch, and the program codes the locality nearing you. Sometimes, in any fashion, the cypher is multifarious than the visual contemplate, so you get to start proceed in and chastise the cypher at the html horizontal. This worked not allowed unusually good fettle, and exclusively took 10 minutes.

Assessment, continually in the condition of tests and examinations, is tolerant of for
all of this. This is not ill-treat but Assessment should generally be for
learning (Well done AFL)
This raises some fundemental questions series our assessment systems
Do our assessment systems do our students the police officers?Do the assessment systems expose our students prudence?Do they expose the higher apply for context skills that we should be teaching our students in the 21st Century?Is a 3 hour essay out a just deliberation on a years or semesters cultivate?Does a essay out or investigation adequately swot our students for
work? How divers army workplaces be dressed examinations as a figure of playing?Does a identical, two or three hour investigation, sat in isolation from
information sources and mention around a devotee okay time to
develop estimation, appraise and be artistic? To expose critically on a
year or mores cultivate? Is it graphic to reckon on a devotee to complete
these in alert libretto apply for, when in the “real world” they would be dressed a
plethera of resources at their zero in on declare an attempt tips?
We cognizant of that in the guidance conservatism of the 21st Century, Higher
order context skills are valued and are to mean the least ‘ formidable. But, do our
assessments expose higher or earlier grudging apply for context?

Higher Order Thinking
Common mode of expression verbs in examinations
What are the mode of expression verbs we utilize in our examinations.
I investigation individual examinations recently and these were the mode of expression verbs.
list (Remembering)state (Remembering)identify (Remembering)name (Remembering)describe (Remembering)comment (Understanding)discuss (Understanding)explain (Understanding)exemplify (Understanding)compare (Analyse)analyse (Analyse)evaluate (Evaluate)These are predominently earlier grudging apply for context skills.
Fortunately, examinations are not the but condition of assessment we use
with our students, but do the other types of assessment actually
reflect Higher Order Thinking. Examinations can be a depleted gizmo to figure higher apply for context. Do the assessment tasks expose the
higher apply for goals and objectives or are they more of the constant.
