In 2008 the paperback book sales in the US yielded over $5 billion, while e-book sales brought in only $64 million. Only four years later, paperback sales had dipped below $5 billion while e-book sales rocketed up to over $3 billion (New Republic, October 21, 2013). This is only one indication of how the dissemination of information is changing in this digital age.
Exchange is committed to taking advantage of these new technologies. We are exploring how to expand our catalog to deliver content, both in print and digitally, in a way that matches your preferences and habits.
We are eager to learn what devices you now use and how you would prefer to access professional development resources. We would appreciate it greatly if you would take ten minutes to fill out our online Technology Survey. And, to make this exciting, we are going to award two Amazon Kindles to randomly selected survey participants!
Thank you for your feedback!

I agree with Mr. Mattia and Ms. Clouser. Education is more than merely scoring high on tests.
"The heart of education lies in the process of teacher and pupil learning together, the teacher drawing the pupil's potential and raising the pupil to surpass the teacher in ability" Tsunesaburo Makiguchi
I had to give credit to the quote above because it continues to influence my beliefs on teaching children. If I truly love the children I teach, my teaching will reflect the quote.

I utilize Exchange Every Day in my education courses and assign student use of the free past articles to incorporate in their assignments. I find this resource appropriate and informative to tomorrow's teachers.

My favorite quote is this: " Kindergartners should be blowing bubbles, not filling them in!" I believe this quote says it all. Our education system is sadly broken.

The more rigid we make the standards the more teachers will teach for the tests. My philosophy has always been " teach children, not subjects." because the modality of learning is different from child to child. Flexibility to modify teaching strageties and curriculum to meet "child's" needs must be the core of teaching.
It is ironic that the people (legislatures) that have gotten us into this economic situation are the ones who have the final say on how our schools must teach. Resuls to them = tax dollars, levy passing and raises for everyone.

Thank you for pointing out the silliness of high-stakes testing that does not have at its core a strong desire to make the world a better, more creative place.
