    describe the place in which they live
  - So many ways to say "Hello"! Challenge student to discover how many
    different ways they can say "hello
  - Weather report. Assign each student the name of a city. (This might be a

    cities from around the world.) On the first school day of each month, students
    collect information about the weather in that city
  - The products we use. Where do the products we use originate? Invite
    students to collect labels from foods, clothing, toys, and other products they

The Busy Educator Newsletter on 2009-09-09
- There is only one way to improve student learning. It is with an effective
  teacher.
- 7. There is only one way to produce good schools and that is with effective
  teachers. We have been trying for years with programs, fads, and ideologies
- 9 more annotations...
- - 9. The three characteristics of an effective teacher are: 1) has good classroom
    management skills, 2) teaches for mastery, and 3) has positive expectations for
    student success.
  - 12. What you do on the first day of school will determine your success for the
    rest of the year. You will either win or lose your class on the first days of
    school.
  - 13. The most important factor that must be established the very
    first week of school is CONSISTENCY.
    
    14. The number one factor that leads to student achievement is
    classroom management.
    
    15. Stand at the door and greet the students
  - 20. The number one problem in education is not discipline. It is the lack of
    procedures and routines, the lack of a plan that organizes a classroom for
    success
  - 24. Effective teachers MANAGE their classrooms. Ineffective teachers DISCIPLINE
    their classrooms.
  - 26. The ineffective teacher begins the first day of school
    attempting to teach a subject or do a fun activity and spends the rest of the
    school year running after the students.
    
    27. The effective teacher spends much of the first week of school
    teaching students to follow classroom procedures to organize the classroom for
    engagement and learning.
  - 32. All effective classrooms have structure. A series of procedures and routines
    equals structure.
  - 50. In low performing schools, teachers are less likely to
    collaborate and learn from one another.
    
    51. In high performing schools, teachers share with one another
    the needed knowledge and skills to help their students reach high standards.
  - 58. The single greatest effect on student achievement is the
    effectiveness of the teacher.
    
    59. The most effective teachers are those who produce an effect on
    themselves.
    
    60. Inside every great teacher there is
    an even better one waiting to come out. Teachers are the sculptors of the human
    race.

Technology Combined with Good Teaching Leads to Success | Edutopia on 2009-06-29
- The Research
  
  Marzano recently divided 85 educators into two groups: One taught a lesson to
  students using interactive whiteboards and the other taught the same lesson
  using standard, more traditional tools. His data was undeniable:
  
  Of those classrooms employing the boards and using the voting technology,
  there was an immediate increase of 17 percent in scores.
  He also found that if a teacher had been given 20-30 months to hone his or
  her skills, there was an average 20 percentile gain.
  The sweet spot, he says -- the perfect storm of student achievement,
  according to his findings -- was when a teacher was trained to use the
  technology, had used it for 2 years, and did so 75 percent of the time. That
  profile shows a whopping 29 percentile gain in scores.
  
  But he warns that there is such a thing as too much technology. Marzano told
  the audience that beyond this sweet spot, dragons await in the form of
  diminishing returns in improved student scores, thus proving, he adds, that you
  clearly "can't take the human mean out of teaching."

Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication Tools - Articles - Publications and Resources - ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership on 2009-06-09
- Synchronous tools enable real-time communication and collaboration in a "same
  time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect at a single
  point in time, at the same time. Synchronous tools possess the advantage of
  being able to engage people instantly and at the same point in time. The primary
  drawback of synchronous tools is that, by definition, they require same-time
  participation -different time zones and conflicting schedules can create
  communication challenges. In addition, they tend to be costly and may require
  significant bandwidth to be efficient.
- Asynchronous tools enable communication and collaboration over a period of time
  through a "different time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to
  connect together at each person's own convenience and own schedule.
