Video carnival

It's Wednesday, so it's time for the Carnival of Education! This week's Carnival is hosted by Mathew and his site Creating Lifelong Learners. There are some interesting posts, including one by Mrs. Bluebird about what her students are REALLY saying when they talk about the weather, and this one over at Joanne Jacobs that asks if it's OK to pay students when they do well on tests. I've certainly considered that one myself.

Hey, if you haven't seen Fractorix yet, go check it out right now! And if you HAVE seen Fractorix, why the heck haven't you commented on it yet? Chop chop, get to it!

And while we're talking videos, let me humbly submit one of my very first attempts at a school-related video. This one is called, "Kids, Don't Tattle." Tattling has really gotten on my nerves this year, as I have several students who would rather tattle than breathe.

This week's Carnival of Education is up and running, this time at the blog of The Columbus Education Association.

The generous hosts there were kind enough to include TWO of my submissions this week -- the education.com column about The Bourne Congruency, AND the Fractorix video!

Looks like lots of good articles over there, so check them out!

Don't you just hate all of those prescription medication commercials on television nowadays? I don't want to see a turtle smoking a cigarette, I don't need to view people that look a lot like food items, and I most certainly don't need to see 60 year old men getting turned on by a little blue pill.

So instead of witnessing any more of these commercials, I decided to make my own. I put it up on YouTube today.

Check it out, and if you like it, please tell your friends about it!
