Play with the colours of Warhol's Marily Print. See what works and what doesn't. Listen to a recording of Warhol discussing his colour choices for the prints. May be good to play with in art class when examining colours.

This game is hugely popular with students coming into the library. I've had some great conversations with students about it. They like that swearing is banned, and that offenders will be banned from the game for a certain amount of time. A bit concerned, though, that someone posing as a younger person could sign in and socialise with young students.

This inspirational video was shared today by our presenter at the SLAV Conference and made a huge impression.  It could be used with staff and students for inspiration, to challenge thinking and to stimulate discussion about the creative process.

A discussion of the difference between Multiple Intelligences & Learning Styles, as well as three tips for teachers: 1. Individualize your teaching as much as possible. Instead of "one size fits all," learn as much as you can about each student, and teach each person in ways that they find comfortable and learn effectively 2. Pluralize your teaching. Teach important materials in several ways, not just one 3. Drop the term "styles." It will confuse others and it won't help either you or your students."

Quote from site "The six jobs described below outline creative ways that your students can make valuable contributions to their learning community. While these jobs can be successfully implemented individually, it is bringing them together in harmony where we can create a more balanced vision of teaching and learning."

Early on, while every internet company was trying to get you to and keep you on its website, Google was busy sending you away happy. People would go to Google to search, find what they were looking for and then leave. It was a genius and counterintuitive move.

This is a great site, although it is blocked by many school networks. It has lots of editable templates to use for displays or topics.

device, I'm concerned that most one-to-one implementation strategies are based on the new tool as the focus of the program. Unless we break out of this limited vision that one-to-one computing is about the device, we are doomed to waste our resources.

This slide presentation explains how to teach students HOTS. It uses Blooms Taxonomy and great language for teaching these skills

"Why good teachers leave teaching"

Interesting article. I have over thirty-five years' continuous experience as a teacher and librarian and am unemployable - I am simply "too expensive" to hire. Why spend $80,000+ on me when you can hire a graduate for tens of thousands less? I have knowledge, experience and skills that would be needed and valued by any school, but the Almighty Dollar rules nowadays. So this "good teacher" has left teaching, even though I still think I have much to offer. I am now studying in a field well away from education and planning a career in my new field. It's a shame that I have left education in this negative fashion, but I'm moving on, hopefully to bigger and better things.
