There are many essential skills a school leader needs to be effective. On that list, and toward the top, is communication. How, when and how often, and by what means of communication are tough questions every school leader thinks about and deals with on a daily basis. To add to this debate I provide the following: How To Communicate There are three types of communication that every school leader needs to engage in with stakeholders. They include person to person, written, and digital.

When and How Often to Communicate The simple answer to when and how often to communicate is when it is necessary. By What Means of Communication This category might be similar to the first but I want to focus on digital resources for you to use as you advance your communication resources.

Emotion | Definition, Meaning and Translation of emotion | TermWiki.com.

Emotion Emotion is a state of the organism in which the form and frequency of several items of behavior in the ongoing operant repertoire are altered. The term emotion, as it is classically used, has the disadvantage of referring to an inner state which usually cannot be observed. The term emotional stimulus overcomes some of these difficulties because it describes a stimulus which alters many ongoing performances in the organism's repertoire other than those directly affected by reinforcement or extinction.

iPad Apps for Education. Add As the first real contender in the category of streamlined computing tablets, the iPad has captured its share of hype. The iPad’s potential remains undeniable, particularly in education. Education is discovery, education is interaction, and education is exploration. These are all activities facilitated by the iPad.

And it is easy enough to use to be effective in early childhood education. I believe that the ultimate goal of the iPad (and its future ilk) is to be so intuitive that the user will forget they are interacting with a piece of technology. Achieving this goal will usher in a new era where we will be able to bypass the laborious work of teaching students to use a particular technology, so they may then use it to learn, and get right to the engagement. The iPad (or any technology) will not replace live instruction, as some have suggested, anytime soon. Few barriers stand between my vision for the classroom of tomorrow and the iPad concept as it stands today. 2. 3. 2. iSalieri. Proxy: configuration iPad, iPod et iPhone - Outils informatiques.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I intend to use my iPad to do as much of my work as possible and that includes setting up and producing this blog. I am using Blogspot for the blog as (a) its free and (b) I use Google Docs a lot so it made sense to stick with a Google service so I needed to find an app that would work with Blogspot. Step forward Blogpress, £1.79 from the app store, 2 minutes to set up and we're off! Having set up a Blogspot account, chosen my blog name and layout (all done on the iPad), it was now time to make a graphic for my header. Firstly, I searched the Internet for the images I wanted to use in my header, these where saved to my Photos folder. Then I used the superb iDraw app to draw my text and combine it with the IOS device pictures to make my header graphic. This was then sent to my Photos. Next, I used Photopad to crop the header to the size I wanted and again it was saved to photos. So there we go, my first piece of blogging done completely on an iPad.

iPad in Education. I had a reasonably extended play with the iPad and I am very impressed. I think it has real potential as an educational tool. It's worth getting a few of my niggles out of the way first before writing about my generally positive reaction to it:A few of the issues I have relate to the way the iPad has to be tied to an iTunes account. I am not sure how this will work with school machines.

It is possible to create an iTunes account without a credit card which may make parents/schools feel happier but I think a more comprehensive solution is required. For example, is it possible to set-up and sync a class set of iPads with a standard build of apps and data? Another niggle that may be connected with Apple's insistence that pretty much everything has to go through iTunes is the way they cripple Bluetooth! Have you tried them in a class yet? My first impressions are very good. iPads and iPods in Education (Part 2)
