 The author is my grandson ,Shane's, advocate. Without her he would be up the creek without a paddle.  Will My Child Grow Out of It written by Dr. Bonny Forrest is an important book for parents, educators and practitioners. The succinct, accurate description of learning differences and mental health issues is based on extensive research as well as personal case study experience. The topics discussed and suggestions given are realistic yet always positive. The expanded appendix provides resources for action, effective therapies for consideration and medications commonly in use. Most importantly there is a direct link to ProjectSkip, http://www.projectskip.com/. A special code is given for use of this tool, a first step in the decision of whether to seek professional help. While this book is an excellent resource for parents, it could also be an important textbook for educators as well as those studying in the field of psychology

Great resource on ISNs! 

Great resource to understand what is encompassed with digital literacies.

Incredible list for all grade levels. Super Resource

This is a resource for technology. I've not had a chance to spend time going through it, but it looks like it would be helpful and full of ideas.

I find this article very affirming. It's hard to know when to respond to students especially when they have been taught to be teacher dependent. But I firmly believe students need more experience in collaboration and problem solving without teacher intervention. In the beginning this is very hard on both the instructor and the participants. Tell me how? Work together to figure it out? Make choices and decide which of these resources is right for you. This is NOT the way our instructors have been taught but it is time they experience it. 

Edudemic is a trusted source for the best ideas

Looking for a safe place to allow your students choice. This might be the place. Try searching for videos. 

Classmates in my PLN course have commented on how students learn better when they help each other.  This article seems to fit that idea in a fun way.

Thank you for this great article. What a wonderful time to share this with your PLN class. I am always intrigued that when I am thinking about a topic I find resources all around me. Thanks for sharing these excellent ideas.

So many ideas, so little time, so worth the effort. Great summer reading. 

What a comprehensive site. Could carry the whole week of Twitter. Glad to have this close by.
