Why reinvent the wheel when making PowerPoint presentations? This online tool is used to upload and download PowerPoint presentations and visuals on all sorts of topics. Users may search for an already created PowerPoint on a subject they may teach and download it for their own teaching purposes. Although this online source is open to anyone, it can be used in any classroom content or subject area under discussion; however, a teacher may need to customize sample PowerPoint presentations to fit their classroom needs. For example, if a language arts teacher needed to give notes on grammar and parts of speech, they may search for a PowerPoint already made including that information. This tool saves teacher time and helps spark ideas!

This is pretty neat. It reminds me of the "SmartExchange," resource site for SmartBoards. Only this would be the powerpoint/presentation equivalent. Nice find.

The tool I posted is Slideshare, a presentation platform where users can post PowerPoint presentations they have created for their classrooms or even businesses. I have used this tool in the past in order to find ready made notes presentations I could present to my 6th grade language arts students. The great thing about about Slideshare is that I can use already created PPTs and customize them to fit my students needs. I definitely recommend this site for the teacher who just doesn't seem to have extra time to create all new notes presentations. Don't reinvent the wheel!

How one principal managed to turn around failing grades by instituting a mandatory study hall for missed homework. He also communicated with parents when 5 assignments were missed. The teachers had indicated that grades would improve if students did their homework and were better prepared for class as a result.

A mandatory homework policy has been successful at our middle school. Students must complete all homework and quizzes before they are permitted to take summative assessments, and parents are notified when assignments are missing or when students do not pass a summative. Resource time, aka study hall, is time set aside for students to make up missing work and get extra assistance as needed. It's good to read about a similar successful program for high school, and I wonder if this kind of program could be helpful for addressing our team's identified learning gaps.

Our school does this as well, especially our math department. Of course it is up to the teacher as to whether or not they want to implement this strategy but administration seems to fully support the cause. I have a science teacher friend and a math teacher friend who both to do this. They give the students detention slips and they come after school to make up or re-take work or assignments. I cannot see myself doing this (an art teacher) but I can see why math and science would want to. I feel that most teachers should make themselves available at lunch for students. I would not suggest every day availability, but students could come meet and get help by appointment only. Too often I hear from students that the teacher tells them to come in the next day for lunch and there is no one to be found in the classroom.

I like the idea of a before and after homework study hall. I can contest to being so busy that you do not want to chase your child around to get their homework done. My son is only five and it is a hassle to get him to do his homework, therefore, I can only imagine how it will be when he gets older. I believe that this might benefit more students if this were implemented nationwide. Students can get the extra assistance they may not be able to get at home with their assignments. I wonder how well this would benefit my school?

I think this is a great idea, especially in high school and middle school! I have been speaking to middle schools in Pennsylvania, and the principals discussed how they have decided to implement homework/tutoring study halls. I think it encourages students to stay on top of their own homework. Also, it allows teachers to have one on one interaction with students, who are struggling. I thought it was smart of the principal to have another administrator oversee the process of tracking missed homework. Data has become such an important part of being a teacher, and using it to help students strive to be better in school is great.
