Analytics in Teaching?
Calling out to all the teachers.
Question: How do they track if teacher A’s methodology to teach math is better than teacher B’s? Is that even tracked?
Reason why i’m asking this quesiton is: it’ll be cool, if someone tracks the performance of teacher A’s students over the next 3-5 years and see how they do in math compared to teacher B’s students.
In the example below i assigned random grades to all the students between 60 and 100.
Based on above, teacher B has taught the basics of match (multiplication, division etc.) well to his/her students than teacher A. Of course, there are several assumptions we are making here about the student.
Why do this? If there was a way to look at historical data and see which teacher’s methodology is better, it should be taken as a best practice for all the teachers.
Bing in Gmail?
I was kinda shocked to see Bing in Gmail. Very nice – i like.
Also, from today onwards you should be seeing Bing Ads on TV – everywhere. Check out first of many to come TV ads: http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=137044. Other ones are more funny – wait and see 
As an official launch Space Needle was turned orange yesterday. When i searched for “bing space needle”, i got good description (which was nice) but upon clicking on it, it took me to images page – i actually wanted to see the image of space needle as orange.
