#Education Editors nomination?
I was thinking today, what if the #education tag community came to a consensus on nominating new editors?
We could:
Setup a nomination form for new editors
Vote on that list
Community/current editors could take the information to editors@tumblr.com to add additional editors to the tag
What do you think?

I am one grateful muffin! I think I have liked, commented on and/or reblog everyone who mentioned support for me as an #Education editor. I cannot tell you what all this public support means to me.

Why are High School Teachers Convinced that White... →
“This speaks to the presence of a subtle yet omnipresent stereotype in high school classrooms: That math, comparatively speaking, is just easier for white males than it is for white females,” says Catherine Riegle-Crumb, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and co-author of the study entitled, “Exploring Bias in Math Teachers’ Perception of Students’ Ability by Gender and...

The Fate of the Common Core: The View from 2022 →
Long story short: they built a time machine and I test-drove it. Where’d I go? I hopped forward a decade to 2022, skipped the chance to meet my future self or check out the iPad 13.0, and instead avidly downloaded the most intriguing edu-titles I could find (sad, but what can you do?). Anyway, wanted to share one title that’s uber-relevant today. It’s Great Promise Thwarted:...

'Social-Media Blasphemy' →
Dean Terry has 400 friends on Facebook, but he wants some virtual enemies.
Here’s what he’s done. Last month he and a student released a Facebook plug-in called EnemyGraph, which users can install free and name their enemies, which then show up in their profiles. “We’re using ‘enemy’ in the same loose way that Facebook uses ‘friends,’” Mr....

Private Schools Mine Parents’ Data, and Wallets →
Relentless fund-raising, be it for the annual fund, the spring benefit or the latest capital campaign, is as much a feature of private schools as small classes and diverse offerings. But with schools hitting the upper limits of what they can charge for tuition, consultants, parents and school heads say the race for donations has become notably more intense and aggressive.

Making big decisions about money →
We’re bad at it. And marketers know this.
Consider: you’re buying a $30,000 car and you have the option of upgrading the stereo to the 18 speaker, 100 watt version for just $500 more. Should you?
Or perhaps you’re considering two jobs, one that you love and one that pays $2,000 more. Which to choose?

Watchwillrichardson <B’s danah too!:
Really thought-provoking talk from danah boyd, primarily about how in the competition for attention we want to promote fear, and that social media perpetuates this. The general text for the talk is also worth the read. Here’s one rather long snip that gets to the heart:
In the 1970s, the scholar Herbert Simon argued that “in an information-rich world,...
