Amaze Your Education Colleagues
This fine academic tool was designed to assist in the writing of reports, grant applications, and other documents related to public schools. I believe that it will be particularly useful for people involved in writing reports for Accreditation. Amaze your colleagues with finely crafted phrases of educational nonsense! The javascript code is adapted from Dack.com's Web Economy BS Generator. I would be remiss if I did not thank my district's Professional Development staff for introducing me to many of these gems. I have added prepositional phrases to this generator. My inspiration comes from the College Board's new AP Chemisty framework that includes this gem - "The student can connect phenomena and models across spatial and temporal scales."
NEW!!! A teacher emailed me and told me that she and her colleagues use the jargon from this site to create bingo cards to use in faculty meetings. Inspired by her idea, I have added EduBabble Bingo! You can create randomized bingo cards from the words and phrases found here, and print them directly from your computer. You can even enter your own favorite phrases to customize your bingo cards. If you get caught, claim that EduBabble Bingo is an engagement strategy supported by current brain research on bored adults! Win!
