In the article, it states that, "teachers of social studies content are less likely than teachers of other content areas to utilize technology in their classroom."

It was found that the coordinator's beliefs did in fact directly impact how technology was used.

By Wendy S. Bray elling children that they can learn from their mistakes is common practice. Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m

This is an article written by Rita Buchoff which details how teaching reading can not only be fun, but through the use of riddles, it actually increases students problem-solving and higher level thinking skills.

Pedagogical research on Web-based learning and instruction has not kept pace with the proliferation of Web-based courses offered by colleges and universities. Consequently, we encourage the application of the "Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education" (American Association of Higher Education, 1987) to guide the design and implementation of Web-based courses.

Interesting dissertation that focuses on teaching pre-service teachers how to teach fractions. Teaching fractions in elementary school can be difficult at times, so I believe this would be a great source for pre-service teachers.

Interesting article with a focus on discipline styles (classroom management) in K-5 classrooms and how a computerized simulation affected discipline.
