Video: The Most Translated Words Using Google Translate Are…

This is a great short video from Google about Google Translate.

The most translated words are:

“How are you?”
“Thank you.”

Back-To-School Reminder: Over 2,000 Categorized Resources For IB Theory Of Knowledge Classes

As regular readers know, in addition to teaching various classes to English Language Learners and to mainstream ninth-graders, I teach the International Baccalaureate Theory of Knowledge course.

Indigenous Knowledge Systems

Imagination

Human Sciences

You can get more information about the project from StoryCorps, including a “toolkit” for teachers.

I Hope California Keeps This In Mind When Deciding About Future High School Exit Exams

New York experience shows Common Core tests can come at a cost for underprivileged students is the headline of a new Hechinger Report article, and I sure hope a lot of California policy-makers read it.

Here’s an excerpt:

Pass that exam will soon be required in order to graduate from high school in New York.

As state legislators discuss a replacement for the now-defunct California High School Exit Exam (see The Best Posts & Articles About Why High School Exit Exams Might Not Be A Good Idea), which has included mentions of putting test requirements in place that sound suspiciously like New York’s, let’s keep this new data very, very visible…..
