Turning the Tables on Teachers - techLearning
Do your students think you're a "1" or a "5"? While the Web is increasingly being used to administer student tests, it's also become a mobilizing tool for kids to assess their assessors. At RateMyTeachers.com, students have anonymously ranked over 390,000 teachers across the country based on criteria such as helpfulness and clarity. Founded by two California educators, the site, not surprisingly, has been criticized by many teachers as not having enough safeguards to root out inaccurate and inappropriate comments. Education Week reported that up to 200 schools have already barred students from accessing it. http://www.ratemyteachers.com
