Regarding TurnItIn.com, I also agree that you have to be careful what "mess=
age" is sent to the students when using it, or a similar service. I was fas=
cinated when I ran my own work through it to see where hits came up. After =
re-writing my school's AUP (having started with a predecessor's document an=
d having looked at many other school's AUPs) it was instructive to me to se=
e where my language echoed other schools, some of it unknowingly. My point =
is that it can be a useful tool for self-monitoring one's efforts at intell=
ectual honesty. When you use it with students do they have the opportunity =
to use it this way to see the results?
Has anyone else read "Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard" by =
the Heath brothers? This was the book that attendees at the NAIS conference=
received instead of another free conference tote bag. I started a discussi=
on for it on the ning: http://isenet.ning.com/forum/topics/switch-how-to-ch=
ange-things or
shorter URL: http://goo.gl/uSmC It has interesting implications for change =
management.
Also on the ning this week, Bill Ivey's post on "Teacher Day" has some poin=
ters towards democratic-classroom readings. http://isenet.ning.com/profiles=
/blogs/day-of-the-teacher Thanks for posting! http://goo.gl/w7ov
Ruth Glass's post about "Shuttering a School" asks if anyone has had experi=
ence with closing down a school? http://isenet.ning.com/profiles/blogs/shut=

Lastly, I'd put in a plug for Emily Jones article in Independent School abo=
ut schools which focus curriculum "Beyond Test Prep." She closes her articl=
e with an interesting comparison of independent schools to the plight of in=
dependent bookstores. http://www.nais.org/ismagazinearticlePrint.cfm?print=
