Dr. Fred Jones: Tools for Teaching
Positive Discipline: Visual Instruction Plans
For classroom discipline to be less work, we must approach it from the perspective of prevention rather than from the more traditional perspective of remediation and consequences.

Professor Joe Martin: The Educator Motivator
More Who, Less What
One of best lessons I learned in my early years of teaching was to focus on who we teach, not just on what we teach. Sacrificing the who for the what is just plain criminal.

Doug Johnson's Tech Proof
A Proposal for Banning Pencils
My experience is that the more familiar educators are with a new technology, the less likely they are to restrict its use by students. When we old-timers experience a technology's benefit ourselves, the more we understand its benefit to students.
http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/columnists/johnson/johnson004.shtml


Miguel Guhlin: The IT Crowd
The CTO Challenge: Building Your Personal Learning Network
As we externalize our thinking, it becomes less of "I am an expert expounding on what I know" and more of "I am a learner sharing what I know." We need to think of learning as an experience that happens when we connect with others.

    School Success for Kids With Asperger's Syndrome
    Subtitled "A Practical Guide for Parents and Teachers," this book is an important resource to help both teachers and parents deal with a set of challenges that can be very profound and certainly is being recognized as affecting ever higher numbers of kids. Asperger's is a syndrome some think of as milder than autism, but sharing some characteristics. The book includes how to recognize Asperger's, suggests best practices in school, and offers suggestions as to how to deal with the school system's administration, among many other topics.
    Click to learn more or to purchase this book.

    You Have to Go to School -- You're the Teacher!
    This second edition offers 50 new tips within its 250 classroom management strategies that are intended "to make your job easier and more fun." This book is very practical for teachers, not only in having lots of brief ideas that are well organized, but also in reflecting the teacher's day to day life. For example, one chapter is called "They're Not Here Yet," in which the reader is given specific guidance under such headings as "Get to School Early," "First Name Versus Surname," and "Don't Take Their Behavior Personally."
