Buyer Beware: BBB Highlights Top 10 Online Scams [INFOGRAPHIC] Who would know better about how to deal with online scams and swindles than the Better Business Bureau (BBB)?

When people are ripped off, the trusted organization is the first place many victims will go to file a complaint, and this infographic shows you the top 10 scams that ensnared unsuspecting victims in the U.S. and Canada last year, as reported to the BBB. It's better to ask questions first than file a complaint later, and the BBB tells us that in this infographic, an inquiry consists of "a customer seeking out our business information," and that generally happens before a purchase. The BBB handles complaints after purchases as well, which are listed separately on the table below. As you're probably aware, most scams won't work unless a prospective victim willingly participates.

So keep in mind: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Top Online Scams [Infographic] compliments of Better Business Bureau Graphic courtesy iStockphoto/Radiant Byte. Using Edmodo as a Learning Platform - Simon Haughton's Blog. Last week my deputy head put a writing task on Edmodo for KS2 - within four days, 42 children had chosen, in their own free time at break or at home, to complete it!

They weren't forced, it wasn't formally set as homework - they just decided themselves that they wanted to do it. To say that Edmodo is a success at my school would be putting it mildly. Since my last post (view here), I've managed to get about half of KS1 signed up too and have even had children who are off ill logging in at home during the day. Having had more time to explore Edmodo, I can now explain some of the tools I overlooked last time, as well as give you some useful little tips I've discovered to help get the most out of Edmodo. Firstly, let me talk about 'assignments'.

To complete an assignment, children have to click on the 'turn in' button on the assignment description before typing their work in (and upload any pictures/files) - they shouldn't do it by replying to the message.

TEACHER EVALUATION - a review of the literature This page summarises and quotes from the surprisingly sparse literature on the evaluation and appraisal of teachers.

"Few educational researchers and developers have worked on the evaluation of teachers, who, after all, are the key performers of the curriculum and the classroom... Poor practice in teacher evaluation is quietly accepted, according to teachers, administrators, and researchers. " (Peterson 2000: ix) Peterson's book suggests that teacher evaluation requires twelve new directions: 1. Peterson is not the only researcher who believes that current teacher evaluation practices are in dire need of change as the quotes below indicate: "Teacher evaluation is a disaster.

Scriven's (1981) review of summative teacher evaluation although dated still provides us with the most comprehensive list of DOs and DON'Ts in teacher evaluation.
