    "There are many teachers who want to start using technology in their classrooms, but just aren't sure where to start.

Public Domain Self-Help Books for the Enlightened Mind - 0 views

  •  
    I'm always looking for great self-help books and there tons of new ones getting released all the time. Sometimes we forget about all the great old self help books out there which a lot of the newer ones are philosophically based on. The cool thing is, many of them are old enough that they actually are in the public domain, so you can usually find them for free. This page compiles a list of some of the best and where to find them online in the public domain. Woo!

The Great Gatsby - Studio 360 - 10 views

  •  
    "Studio 360 explores F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and finds out how this compact novel became the great American story of our age. Novelist Jonathan Franzen tells Kurt Andersen why he still reads it every year or two, and writer Patricia Hampl explains why its lightness is deceptive. We'll drive around the tony Long Island suburbs where Gatsby was set, and we'll hear from Andrew Lauren about his film G, which sets Gatsby among the hip-hop moguls. And Azar Nafisi describes the power of teaching the book to university students in Tehran. Readings come courtesy of Scott Shepherd, an actor who sometimes performs the entire book from memory."
