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.

ALIMA students: Teaching learning as a skill- not a consequence

Whole Brain Teaching is fun, free and powerfully engages challenging students... Whole Brain Teachers of America is one of the fastest growing education reform movements in the United States. Whole Brain Teachers of America Improving student reading speed, of all serious educational problems, is one of the easiest to solve. LOVE THIS SITE!!

Wow great site, I love that they have an area that will help you with challenging students. I am going to keep searching to see if they have anything on ESOL students, if not it would be a great addition to the site. The site is GREAT!! Thank you!

This brief article is an early work by Dr. Ian Bogost related to what he would later refer to as "procedural rhetoric." In this piece Dr. Bogost draws parallels between various processes essential to being "literate" at different points in history. With what "processes" do we need to become literate as educators in the 21st century? How can we help others become literate?

This sounds a lot like learning by doing. If students can't experience battle re-enactments, or visit musuems and historical sites, or travel to parks, or act out a story, technology might afford those luxuries. Computers, iPads, even smart phones can provide virtual field trips and experiences. Students can further share these experiences through social networking. As an older generation, I feel it necessary to keep learning how today's youth are communicating so I will be able to connect with them and bridge that gap in their education.

Not a fan of Diamond, but I did like Guns, Germs, and Steel. As it relates to learning, I do agree that there is great benefit in constructing your learning. I imagine a day when we will be able to choose from a vast assortment of resources that will allow us to illustrate specific terms or concepts and from those resources we can build knowledge, sort of like a Lego model.
