      Victoria I'm glad you liked the article. I am always amazed at how many suggestions, inventions, or books are published/created and I ask myself, 'why didn't I think of that?'. Most of the strategies are no brainers, but when you are bombarded with deadlines, standardized testing, iep's, ard's, etc... it is easy to forget the really importatnt things, the students.

      These are all excellent tips for every classroom. Performing all ten of these on a daily basis would be a challenge for me. Is there a particular strategy you would or have struggled with in your classroom?

      Maria and Romel I know a couple of teachers who use a kitchen timer and set it for no more than 15 minutes. It is a bit crude, but it is a cheap solution and easier than setting a timer on your phone, watch, etc...

      Jaime I have issues with finding an activating strategy as well. In math, it is difficult to connect slope with something relevant to students, but sometimes we over think things. I showed a terribly stereotypical video to a group of kids on slope and they still talk about it 3 weeks later. You'd be surprised what kids will relate to.

    Mari I completely understand. Time gets away from even the best teachers. I am a coach and this is the issue I have most difficulty with on the field (that and yelling). I always carry my watch with me and set timers. Some teachers use simple kitchen timers to keep both the teacher and the students on task. It helps both know there is a limited amount of time to complete tasks. It keeps the class moving and students engaged.

      Obviously, comparisons will be made between the short throw projector and an interactive whiteboard. If you had a choice, which would you prefer in your classroom/office?

    Too often, technology in the classroom centers around teacher use. This is technology teachers and students will want to use.
