Over the past decade, parent advocacy groups led a grassroots movement resulting in most states adopting dyslexia-specific legislation, with many states mandating the use of the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach to reading instruction. Orton-Gillingham is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive approach to reading for students with or at risk for word-level reading disabilities (WLRD). Evidence from a prior synthesis and What Works Clearinghouse reports yielded findings lacking support for the effectiveness of OG interventions.

He’s really vocal about this. Can you help us shut him up? Shanahan’s response

You can download the official release of Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on the Adobe site.

This is the first step in what will be an extremely eventful year for streaming media. Adobe will soon enter the enterprise market in a big way with a version of Flash Media Server that supports both IP and Application Multicasting.

Flash has long dominated the public internet, but its inability to multicast meant corporations had to stick with Windows Media. This new capability will give large enterprises the opportunity to migrate to the Flash format and benefit from its ability to run on any OS and any browser, ease of use, support for higher quality codecs, ability to change bit rates on the fly etc.
