  • Google Drive is particularly handy for teachers when revising students' work and providing feedback.

And it's a great organizing tool -- you can easily upload existing files to Google Drive so that everything is accessible in one place
  • Google Sites is your place to create a digital classroom on the web. One of the best things about Google Sites is its ability to be that digital hub for your classroom. You can combine video, documents, forms, calendars, and other resources all in one place for student and parent access.

What Kind of Leader Are You? Traits, Skills and Styles - 4 views

  • The autocratic style is one in which a single person takes control and makes decisions, directing others in his or her chosen course of action. Lewin’s team found that this was the most unsatisfactory leadership style with the youth groups. In a democratic leadership style, one person takes control but is open to group input, often allowing the group to make decisions and collectively assign tasks. This leader guides rather than directs. This was the most popular leadership style in the youth groups and garnered the greatest positive response. With the laissez-faire approach, the person in charge stepped back and did nothing. He or she provided no direction or guidance. The group was disorganized and unproductive.
  • Modern leadership traits and skills Since the advancement of situational leadership, a number of other leadership styles have been identified. Peter Economy, also known as "The Leadership Guy," recently listed the qualities of today's best leadership in an Inc.com article. He encourages embodiment of these merits at all times to achieve phenomenal results. They are: Decisiveness Awareness Focus Accountability Empathy Confidence Optimism Honesty Inspiration

    This was really interesting because it talked about situational leadership and how all of the listed kinds are great in different situations. It opened my eyes a bit to see how not one style is the right style.
