what better inspiration to think about educational leadership than this…
My daughter will be presumably graduating from high school in 2027. I want to make sure I can do everything within my power to make sure she has the most fulfilling, enriched, creative experience with school. So I wanted a place to think and write about those ideas. I know at first this may be a repository for commenting on things I have read, but I hope I can begin to think critically about my practice as an educator.
This will also be a place for me to explore educational leadership as I am about to enter the realm of a school administrator, knock on wood.
Hi Peter,
Just want to introduce you to Gnowledge (www.gnowledge.com), the online test publishing platform, and solicit your thoughts and opinions on it.
Gnowledge is free for everyone to use. Tests and exercises can be created by anyone and are categorized by title, subject, grade, school and/or country. Once published, these tests are available for everyone to use and share. Students preparing for exams or who wish improve their knowledge and accelerate their academic progress can search Gnowledge for their desired subject. All test results, scores and answers to every question administered is stored on Gnowledge. Registered users can view their own individual test results any time and the test results of everyone who has taken the tests they’ve created, and these tests and/or results can be shared with others if they choose to do so.
The best example of how Gnowledge is being used and how it transcends language and cultural barriers and education syllabuses is by a French language teacher in Mexico (a Spanish-speaking country). She uses Gnowledge (an English-language website) to produce simple tests and exercises for her students. In two months she has published 50 tests and these tests have been administered to her (and other) students 1,272 times. Scale of this magnitude does not happen in conventional classrooms or schools. Her stats can be independently verified at: http://www.gnowledge.com/saveurfle.
I invite you to check out Gnowledge. If you have any comments, queries or criticisms for Gnowledge, please let me know, your feedback would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Aiman Azri
