This American Life: New York City "rubber rooms"

The true story of little-known rooms in the New York City Board of Education building. Teachers are told to report there instead of their classrooms. No reason is usually given. When they arrive, they find they've been put on some kind of probationary status, and they must report every day until the matter is cleared up. They call it the Rubber Room. Average length of stay? Months, sometimes years. Plus other stories of the uneasy interaction between humans and their institutions.

American Educator - Do Reading Comprehension Strategies Work? By Daniel T. Willingham

Once students can decode fluently, some brief instruction in reading comprehension strategies can boost their understanding. But the strategies shouldn't be overused because they don't substitute for the background knowledge and vocabulary necessary for comprehension.

The Manual Works Prompter 5.4 Download - Freeware Files.com - Audio & Video Category

Do you ever need to read a script of any sort, for any reason? Would you find it easier if the script scrolled ´before your very eyes´ just like a professional ´teleprompter´ or ´autocue´ device? Then The Manual Works Prompter is for YOU! The Manual Works Prompter is a simple HTML Application (HTA file), and you can check and modify its content using any text editor including Notepad. Like a Web page, it needs no installation whatever and you can run it immediately from ANY media, including diskette and memory stick. The Manual Works Prompter loads, edits, and saves scripts as simple text files (TXT files). All you need to do is remember to save or move them to the SAME directory as the Prompter HTA file (the so-called Prompter directory). For the adventurous, or those experienced in HTML, you can include several HTML tags which the Prompter will honour when the script is displayed! Full details are in the supplied documentation.

Using images in blog posts: the dos and don'ts : Real Lawyers Have Blogs

By breaking content up with a relevant image, you're giving your readers' eyes a subconscious break. Ultimately this will make readers far more likely to stay on your blog because they're not overwhelmed by lengthy, text-heavy posts.
