Test Blogs for Edu Yukon

I just poked around to see what options there are for creative tiaras…maybe we could all get mini-tiaras???

Lilly's tiara

Welcome to our newest member of the blogging test group - Tiara Tilly. We’ve heard she has a Tiara - but does it have diamonds. Is she funding the civil wars in Africa with blood stones?

Now we will see. Does she wear the crown royally? Or does it look as grand when riding a broom?

We need your comments. Who is this Tiara Tilly? And will she be a great queen? Sign in and post your comments.

So, it seems as though we have so many things to blame Bill for (after all, he had the nerve to leave us to the mercy of the cold, wind and snow/rain and toddle off to Hawaii) that we’ve used up Shannon’s whiteboard already!

So, here’s the target…feel free to post by typing, talking or webcamming…

Something that’s always amazed me. Students pay tuition fees they complain are too high so they can pass and gain credit - not learn and succeed.

• Donald Clark Plan B: 7 ‘bad language’ habits in learning

  Language of assessment is the language of fear and failure. We sit exams and tests. We pass or fail. It’s a red pen culture, where failure is failure, not an opportunity to try again, overcome and succeed.
