Hangin’ out at Discovery.

Posted on July 22, 2008 by Aaron

Yes, THAT Discovery.  They’re doing an ed-tech conference all this week and I’m along for the ride.

You can be too, if you want.  Most of the content I’m collecting can be found either on my Flickr acount or my Plurk acount.  You don’t need to sign up for those to follow along, but they’re fun and free if that floats your boat.

    Just spent too much time troubleshooting why Kdenlive didn't have a "Master" button like all the tutorials said it should only to figure out through trial and error that it's called "Sequence" now, but the documentation I've seen doesn't mention this.I don't mind the change, I do mind that it should say this in the online manual where it talks about the Master button.

    I don't blame principals or superintendents for the ubiquity of high stakes overtesting.These things are mandated at a level where we're looking at politicians (or those appointed by them) thinking they're the best choice, because we've always done it that way.This article's from 3 years ago and it still says what a lot of us already knew: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/11/new-study-finds-wide-gap-in-sat-act-test-scores-between-wealthy-lower-income-kids/
