Do a search: how many photos to add and reviews to increase my local guide score
Here's the reply:
Points, levels, and badging
Find this info at a quick link: http://tinyurl.com/googlelocalguide
Levels are determined by the number of points you've earned. Receive 1 point for every place you review, photograph, add, edit, or provide additional information for on Google Maps. Earn up to 5 points per place. Unlock benefits along the way.
- Level 1 = 0-4 points
- Level 2 = 5-49 points
- Level 3 = 50-199 points
- Level 4 = 200-499 points
- Level 5 = 500+ points
Please note your points and level can take up to 24 hours to update in the Google Maps for mobile app. Points do not expire, though they may decrease if a review is removed for violating our policies. Contribute to Google Maps on a consistent basis to earn the most Local Guides benefits.
Keep contributing to receive all program benefits. For some benefits, we give priority to Local Guides who are consistently contributing each month.

| Listen to Minute 9 |
Make a short video with your mobile phone and post it on your YouTube account.
Write about a new article or website and put the article on your blog.
See Minute 9
This leader, Linda D-H, explains how math worksheets can sometimes lead students to lack understanding of the concepts behind the worksheets.
The point of this blog post is to encourage students to take time to spread several links for an organization, such as this link to a Youtube, a link to the Facebook and the Link to the Twitter account and a link to an ARTICLE
For example, here are places that I clicked
If you support Portfolios as a way to show what you can do with what you know, (that's Tony Wagner's phrase), then click your LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to Learning Policy Institute. Why? Because LPI can help provide legislators with the legistlation language that is needed:
Attn: Linda Darling-Hammond, president and CEO,
Learning Policy Institute
Hello
I'm looking for model state legislative language to promote alternative assessment and portfolios.
I've heard that both Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire have rules or procedures to allow portfolios to be used in assessing students.
Can a student get a high school diploma through portfolios? What state laws might allow that?
I'm seeking legislation to propose to my state legislator.
Steve McCrea
THANK YOU

HER REPLY:
Hi Steve,
Rhode Island has legislation that authorizes graduation by portfolio for all students. Here’s a summary of their latest iteration. http://www.ride.ri.gov/studentsfamilies/ripublicschools/diplomasystem.aspx#16441117-performance-assessments
Because of recent politics they have added test options but the portfolios remain. We can dig up the original legislation if that would be helpful to you and could potentially work on some model legislation.
In New Hampshire, graduation is a local decision, so I don’t believe there is state legislation, even though many districts are using performance assessments or portfolios.
Let’s stay in touch.
Regards, Linda
Now you see why I support Learning Policy Institute.
I show my support in my blog. I can show my blog link in my digital portfolio.

Blogging is good for teaching students to write better
THIS IS A REMARKABLE WEBSITE for writers and tachers.
You can see why blogging makes sense. Classwork turns into "real" work because the words are shared on the Internet.
