<h4><b>Merit Pay Gone Wrong</b><br/></h4>
<p>This week's #edchat, "How should successful & innovative teaching and teachers be rewarded?" was incredibly appropriate in light of Florida's controversial Senate Bill 6 this week that <a href="http://blog.learningtoday.com/blog/bid/27033/Senate-Bill-Faces-Strong-Opposition-from-Teachers" target="_new">faced strong opposition</a> and even <a href="http://blog.learningtoday.com/blog/bid/27333/Students-and-Teachers-SICK-with-Outrage-for-SB6-HB7189" target="_new">outrage</a> from teachers. The bill, if signed into law by Governor Crist, will eliminate teacher tenure, require experience, certification, and advanced degrees not be considered when paying teachers, and base <br/> salaries on "learning gains" made on standardized tests. <br/></p>
<br/>
<p>The bill is often referred to as the merit pay bill, however many teachers have questioned whether or not the true impact of the bill will be to reward successful teachers. Interestingly enough, many #edchatters felt that merit pay is not the best option for rewarding effective teachers. <br/></p>

<p>Shelly Blake-Plock is a progressive educator and blogger for <a href="http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/">Teach Paperless</a>. Blake-Plock blogs regularly on "all aspects of paperless, digital, and technological culture as it relates to education." In addition to his blog, Blake-Plock teaches high school Latin and Art History - completely paperless. <br/></p>

<p>Why paperless? He clarifies, <i>"I'm against the static idea of knowledge that paper so often represents. That's not where the future is...online assignments are naturally dynamic. I do this because that's what the kids understand. They are already living the post-paper knowledge life.
