Your introduction is an important road map for the rest of your paper.
-
your introduction should contain a thesis that will assert your main argument. It should also, ideally, give the reader a sense of the kinds of information you will use to make that argument and the general organization of the paragraphs and pages that will follow. After reading your introduction, your readers should not have any major surprises in store when they read the main body of your paper.
-
our direct answer to the assigned question will be your thesis, and your thesis will be included in your introduction, so it is a good idea to use the question as a jumping off point.

You should try Poetry Genius for this. It is an amazing and growing app: http://genius.com/tags/poetry It's a place where you post your poem and your students can annotate in real-time. You can restrict it to just your class, or you can open it up to the community. They also have Literature Genius with some awesome pages (so far I have looked at Hawthorne and O'Connor--but there are a ton more http://lit.genius.com/.

Using Music to Close the Academic Gap - Lori Miller Kase - The Atlantic - 73 views
-
Why isn't music in the Common Core
-
Research demonstrates that music doesn't help as such. The same effect can be got from any discipline where practice and persistence are important. The musical component can be duplicated with explicit phonemic instruction in a short time. You would be better off drawing because it is the only non-academic that has a direct academic relationship - with geometry. The evidence for that has to do with the above, plus junction recognition and visualization. The only thing I didn't touch on is openness to new experience which has a strong correlation to measured intelligence. That's a component of the arts in general.
-
I'm aware of the studies and also of the garbage science like the "Mozart Effect." While they don't support the correlation, they are also not definitive. This appears to be a valid study and it is working. Whether the reasons are because they learn practice and persistence or something else is irrelevant, a correlation still exists. Maybe it's just that music is fun and the way we learn music--practice, reflect, refine, repeat--is a good model for learning in general. It's certainly better than standardized tests. Personally, I don't feel a need to justify music's existence by its value to other subjects. It represents some of humanity's greatest achievements. That should be enough.

Synchronous tools can help humanize the classroom
-
Setting up open office hours via a synchronous tool allows students to reach out in a specific time window with questions and get a real-time answer.
-
Many synchronous tools allow us to use video or face-to-face chat, allowing the student to see our faces as we speak to them about their direct concern.

Free screen sharing from any device, including smart phones and tablets. Hmm ... does this replace reflections or Apple TV in presentations?

Mary Vaughn writes: Want to share and collaborate across the classroom? How about across the state or further? http://www.screenleap.com/ is the perfect tool to do that. Easy to use, all you have to do is download the java applet and you're ready to share your screen with anyone at anytime. This works in tandem with apple devices or any device that has internet connection. Unfortunately, right now it's a one-way deal - you'll have to use a pc or mac to share. It gives a simple code or website you can share with others to see your screen. There's a little lagtime but not terribly so. So, if you have teachers who have data projectors going on the fritz, want to do a PLC with other colleagues, or whatever collaboration you're working with, this could be the perfect tool. Hint: use the tabs to open up different websites - you have to keep the original screenleap up and running.
