The Psychopath: Emotion and the Brain (9780631233367): James Blair, Derek Mitchell, Karina Blair Comment via email and view entire photo albums in Google Buzz Posted by Henry Wong, Software Engineer One of the things people like best about Google Buzz is the ability to have conversations in the comments. But until now, if you were reading a post in an email client (like the native mail app on your phone or Outlook), you couldn't easily join in on the conversation -- you could only email the original poster. Plus, last week we made it possible to view entire photo albums in Buzz (rather than the handful of photos from a given Flickr or Picasa album you could see before). We're chipping away at the feature requests we've been receiving, so keep them coming.

Tying Teacher Salaries to Test Scores Doesn't Work The idea of “pay for performance,” which involves supplementing teacher pay or providing bonuses based on student test scores, is one of the latest educational fads to sweep the country. Research and experience, however, indicate that such schemes are more likely to damage our children’s education than to improve it. As one analyst notes, “test-based pay is more useful politically than it is effective educationally.” Performance pay will not improve teaching or learning Research shows that the carrot of higher pay does not lead to better results. Similar studies of teacher merit pay have shown null results in New York City and Chicago. Methods that use test scores to evaluate teachers, including the currently popular “value added” calculations, have also proved highly unreliable. Performance pay will not attract strong teachers Performance pay may in fact drive more talented teachers out of the profession. Performance pay will lead to more standardized testing and test prep References

Editor’s Note: This post is more technical than most posts on the Google Docs blog.A month ago we introduced the latest version of the Google document editor. The new editor comes with features like a ruler, tabs stops, and floating images. Those features might seem pretty basic, but they’re nearly impossible to support in a regular online text editor. This post unwraps some of the core technical changes with the new editor to make this new functionality possible. The old Google documentsAs background, most online text editors (including the old Google documents) use an editable HTML element, which means the application tells the browser to make a certain string of text editable, and the browser takes care of letting the user edit that text. Relying on the browser like this has several advantages: Easy implementation -- Browsers know when a user triple clicks, they want to select an entire paragraph. Multiple users editing in the same paragraph
Finnish Lessons: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland? (Series on School Reform) (9780807752579): Pasi Sahlberg Pros and cons of merit pay for teachers: A point-counterpoint look at the issue from one of the leading practitioners of performance-based compensation One working model for merit pay or performance-based compensation for teachers is the Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) launched by the Milken Family Foundation in 1999. A trademark of TAP is that it ties educators’ salaries and bonuses to instructional performance and growth in student achievement. Other features of the model include ongoing professional development as part of the school day, multiple career paths and accountability based on clearly defined, research-based standards. Teacher Merit Pay Pros and Cons – A Comparison To address the controversy around merit pay for teachers, the Milken Family Foundation produced an opinion paper called “The Pros and Cons of Performance-Based Compensation”. “Performance-based compensation will stimulate a market for superior teachers,” write the authors. “The Pros and Cons of Performance-Based Compensation,” by Lewis Solmon and Michael Podgursky, Milken Family Foundation, 2000.
