Barbie: The Young Girl’s Ultimate Role Model?
Barbie: The Young Girl’s Ultimate Role Model? | About-Face:
"Especially in this day and age, every young girl should have a role model. They need someone to look up to — someone who will validate their dreams, inspire their hearts, and represent all the positive, healthy ideals life has to offer. My mother is my role model, and so when I saw this commercial the other day, I assumed it was a shout-out to all the hardworking mothers setting their daughters on the right track. After all, at such a young age, who can inspire young girls to “go to the moon”, “dance”, and “teach the next generation”?"

Bullying Defined
Read the whole article here:
"Bullying is when somebody is made to feel uncomfortable, unhappy, desperate, because of the acts of others. It can be verbal, it can be name calling, it can be physical, it can be taking somebody's lunch money if it's at school. All bullying is wrong. It's usually a gang bullying one person or two people, and in the most extreme cases it can lead to children feeling desperate enough to consider taking their own lives."

Edna Krabappel, 'The Simpsons' - Top 10 Bad Teachers - TIME
Edna Krabappel, 'The Simpsons' - Top 10 Bad Teachers - TIME:
"Who let this chain-smoking, jaded divorc茅e teach the fourth grade? Edna Krabappel has good intentions that never quite translate into adequate learning for Bart and his less-than-motivated peers. She lives up to her name as a bitter, loveless loner who lets her personal life fuse into her lesson plans as she shares the cynicism of middle age with the malleable minds of Springfield Elementary School. She tries her best to keep the students in line, but her apathy — she describes her job as "glorified babysitter to a bunch of dead-eyed fourth graders" — ultimately leads to her demise."
Bulllying: Practical Strategies for Teachers and TAs | The Creative Education Blog
Bulllying: Practical Strategies for Teachers and TAs | The Creative Education Blog:
"Victims of bullying suffer psychological and sometimes physical scars that last a lifetime. Victims report greater fear and anxiety, feel less accepted, suffer from more health problems, and score lower on measures of academic achievement and self-esteem than students who are not bullied.
Victims often turn their anger inward, which may lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide.
The practical strategies outlined below could form a part of your pro-active approach towards preventing and handling bullying."
Innovative copyright
Innovative copyright:
"Learning about or teaching copyright is often frustrating and difficult for both teacher and student because it is a complex area, and, let’s face it, reading the text of the law is not always the most exciting way to learn.
Endeavoring to address this issue and many others, the Copyright Education and Consultation Program, a project funded by the Illinois State Library, was designed to establish a program to provide authoritative copyright information directly to faculty, instructors, and researchers at the largest Illinois universities. The goals of the program include increasing confidence in use of materials, informing users of copyright education resources available to them, empowering users with knowledge about their own intellectual property rights, and facilitating use of copyrighted material in the classroom."

Classroom Language | TeachingEnglish | British Council | BBC:
"TeachingEnglish - Classroom Language is a programme of in-service training to help teachers of English use English with more confidence in the classroom.
In many countries in the world the demand for English language education has outstripped the capacity to provide fully trained English teachers. A significant number of teachers of English round the world are teaching with low levels of English language competence and professional training, and this can impact on their confidence and ability to teach effectively."

Using Correction Codes: Saving your students from going down with their 'slips' in a sea of red ink! | ELT Vista
Using Correction Codes: Saving your students from going down with their 'slips' in a sea of red ink! | ELT Vista:
"A good step towards raising awareness in students of the important of facilitating appropriate “effect on the reader” is by making the most of another type of mistake, or as some humanistic practitioners would say, learning opportunities. What I’m referring to is basic sentence level correction. The idea is that getting students to become more reflective of how their sentence level mistakes might affect readers actually creates a need for students to more accurately express themselves in an effective way. After all, one conception about ‘sentence structure’ is that the most grammatically correct sentence is one that is also the most effective."

10 ways to encourage students to take responsibility for their learning… « What Ed Said:
"1. Don’t make all the decisions
Allow choice. Encourage students to make decisions about how they learn best. Create opportunities for them to pursue their own interests and practise skills in a variety of ways. Cater for different learning styles. Don’t expect everyone to respond in the same way. Integrate technology to encourage creative expression of learning."

Cool Cat Teacher Blog: 10 Ways to be a Terrible Teacher
Cool Cat Teacher Blog: 10 Ways to be a Terrible Teacher:
"Teaching is a noble calling. That is why when a teacher doesn't behave nobly it breaks trust and we get upset. I have to admit that I've had days as a "TT" (Terrible Teacher.) If we're honest with ourselves, we all have. It is usually when we're tired, grumpy or were woken up by a parent calling to complain about something we don't really agree with. But there are no excuses. As I've been teaching 10 years, I believe I have few days as a TT if any but there are certainly things I can improve upon."
25 Things You Should Know About Storytelling
25 Things You Should Know About Storytelling:
"1. Stories Have Power
Outside the air we breathe and the blood in our bodies, the one thing that connects us modern humans today with the shamans and emperors and serfs and alien astronauts of our past is a heritage — a lineage — of stories. Stories move the world at the same time they explain our place in it. They help us understand ourselves and those near to us. Never treat a story as a shallow, wan little thing. A good story is as powerful as the bullet fired from an assassin’s gun."

Ten Steps to Transforming Past Lessons for 21st Century Learners by Michael Gorman
- Ten Steps to Transforming Past Lessons for 21st Century Learners by Michael Gorman:
"It is important to look at successful prior lessons and infuse these past successes with technology and 21st century skills. I often refer to this in my Jukebox to iPod presentation. When looking at this transformation it is obvious that technology made a past great idea even better. Teachers must realize that they have a vault of awesome activities that have proven to be successful with students. Many times these perennial gems can be reinvented, mixed, and transformed to bring about a new 21st century lesson that will be even more engaging and applicable to today’s digital learner."

"Lately I have seen a few blogs, newspaper articles, and journal articles (see below for links) questioning the purpose and practice of homework: Why do some teachers give homework and others do not? Why is homework given as a blanket assignment in which each child is given the same homework? What is effective homework? How much homework?"
