littleBits consists of tiny circuit-boards with simple, unique functions engineered to snap together with magnets. No soldering, no wiring, no programming, just snap and play. Each bit has a simple, unique function (light, sound, sensors, buttons, thresholds, pulse, motors, etc), and modules snap to make larger circuits. Just as LEGOs™ allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are small, simple, intuitive, blocks that make creating with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together.

A structured approach to inquiry-based learning that uses the World Wide Web as a primary information resource.

Scroll to bottom of page - "Principal Reading Walk Through Checklists The Principal Walkthrough checklists provide principals of Kindergarten through Fifth Grade with a tool to effectively structure classroom visits in order to observe effective reading instruction. This tool provides a snapshot of classroom organization, instruction, and learning opportunities in the reading classroom. Indicators focus on the learning environment and include instructional strategies essential for reading including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension."

The Reflective Principal: A Taxonomy of Reflection (Part IV) Reflection can be a challenging endeavor. It's not something that's fostered in school - typically someone else tells you how you're doing! Principals (and instructional leaders) are often so caught up in the meeting the demands of the day, that they rarely have the luxury to muse on how things went. Self-assessment is clouded by the need to meet competing demands from multiple stakeholders. In an effort to help schools become more reflective learning environments, I've developed this "Taxonomy of Reflection" - modeled on Bloom's approach. It's posted in four installments: 1. A Taxonomy of Reflection 2. The Reflective Student 3. The Reflective Teacher 4. The Reflective Principal It's very much a work in progress, and I invite your comments and suggestions. I'm especially interested in whether you think the parallel construction to Bloom holds up through each of the three examples - student, teacher, and principal. I think we have something to learn from each perspective. 4. The Reflective Principal Each level of reflection is structured to parallel Bloom's taxonomy. (See installment 1 for more on the model) Assume that a principal (or instructional leader) looked back on an initiative (or program, decision, project, etc) they have just implemented. What sample questions might they ask themselves as they move from lower to higher order reflection? (Note: I'm not suggesting that all questions are asked after every initiative - feel free to pick a few that work for you.) Bloom's Remembering : What did I do? Principal Reflection: What role did I play in implementing this program? What role did others play? What steps did I take? Is the program now operational and being implemented? Was it completed on time? Are assessment measures in place? Bloom's Understanding: What was

Chichen Itza Mexico is difficult of Mayan remains on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. A great level remains, identified as El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan, overlooks the memorable city, which increased from step 600 A.D. To the 1200s. Concrete stone carvings live on at structures similar to the ball court docket, Temple of the Soldiers and the Wall of the Skulls. Regularly healthy and small concerts do continuously with shade from the homes' advanced geometry. The Lookout at Chichen Itza is called El Caracol (or snail in Spanish) as it has an internal staircase that spirals higher like a snail's shell.
