0. Cyber December? Today is typically Cyber Monday. We will celebrate with a Cyber December sale throughout December. Unfortunately, the ‘free shipping’ discount from November is expired, but it will be replaced by a ‘10% off’ Christmas sale! All of last month’s Christmas suggestion items will be 10% off all month. Visit Christmas Suggestions 2014.
1. Education Thought for the Week Here’s a provocative thought: In terms of education, it seems that the more valuable we find a skill or attribute, the harder it is to measure, at least precisely; and conversely, the easier something is to measure precisely (especially with standardized tests) the less valuable it actually is! For some elaboration on these thoughts, see Measurable or Meaningful?
2. More Penny Lane (See Photo of the Week) If you are interested in seeing the “Lane” of Penny Lane, follow this link: Penny Lane 2
