How to: make a scratch-off photo for your Valentine Giving the gift of your fabulous face in the form of a scratch card for Valentine's Day is a brilliant and rather bizarre idea. Scratch cards are normally so horribly disappointing but here's one that will either guarantee a cheesy grin or at least give them a good laugh. The good folks over at Photojojo (currently the site I have been drooling over due to their collection of iPhone lenses - they have a 'fisheye' lens for your iPhone, people!) posted DIY: Make a Scratch-Off Photo Valentine. It's based on this video from Hello Brit, but they've turned it into a handy photo how to (quite fitting for a scratch card photo). And as Brit implies in the video, you can put whatever you like under there. Have fun scratching this Valentine's Day.

The Socratic Method The Socratic Method:Teaching by Asking Instead of by Tellingby Rick Garlikov The following is a transcript of a teaching experiment, using the Socratic method, with a regular third grade class in a suburban elementary school. I present my perspective and views on the session, and on the Socratic method as a teaching tool, following the transcript. The class was conducted on a Friday afternoon beginning at 1:30, late in May, with about two weeks left in the school year. This time was purposely chosen as one of the most difficult times to entice and hold these children's concentration about a somewhat complex intellectual matter. The experiment was to see whether I could teach these students binary arithmetic (arithmetic using only two numbers, 0 and 1) only by asking them questions. I had one prior relationship with this class. "But what I am really here for today is to try an experiment with you. 1) "How many is this?" 2) "Who can write that on the board?" 4) Another way? 5) Another way?
Author quote posters Being around a successful author would surely be exhausting and inspiring in equal amounts. As well as all that wisdom they put into their books, their thought-provoking one-liners would literally be falling out here, there and everywhere. So while you'd beat yourself up for not possessing even a smidgen of that kind of talent, you'd also be maniacally scribbling it all down for dinner party quoting. The rather smart Evan Robertson has created a set of posters that combine iconic author quotes with genius design work. If you don't want at least two of these hanging on your wall then we need to have a serious chat. Tags: books, Design, Posters

Born to Learn ~ You are Born to Learn 100 little things that travel has taught me Travel has been one of my most valuable teachers. Rather than sit in a classroom and learn about the world through a someone else’s eyes, I did it through adventures and misadventures, tears and laughter. I know I still have so much to discover, but here are some lessons that sometimes I had to learn the hard way. Some of them I already kinda knew, some I are silly, some are serious, some are obvious, and some are embarrassing. 1. 21. 28. 43. 60. 80. 95. What are some lessons you have learned from travel? photo credits: katja hentschel: polaroid, laptop, insects, waterfall girl; mrsdkrebs: tattoo map, littlelakes: coconut, fmgbains: flowers, all others: author’s own * post written by Kyra Bramble.

Quick Tips Kidipede - History for Kids - Homework Help for Middle School Fun with Foam Printing - Easy Tutorial I loved this idea because not only can you recycle these horrid polystyrene containers, but the process is really simple. You could even use tracing paper and trace your design so you don't even need to be able to draw. You could make a whole series of cards like this or just a colorful print to hang on your wall and cheer up the place. Materials needed: Foam or polystyrene container pencil paint or ink small roller 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Happy printing! Original image courtesy of themetapicture Resources for Idaho Teachers We know that students learn best when they are truly engaged in what they are learning, when they have the opportunity to explore, debate, discuss, examine, defend, and experiment with the concepts and skills they are ready to learn. Students learn best when instruction is: Appropriately Challenging Kids (and adults!) Based on Real-World Problems and Situations Students need to understand how the skills and concepts they are learning fit into their lives. Purposeful You (and your students) should be able to explain the purpose of each activity or assignments. Meaningful and Interesting We shouldn't be waiting until spring before we begin the "fun" activities. Remember: No one instructional method will work for all students, for all teachers, or in all subject areas. Strategy Ideas: Determine if Students are Ready to Move On Discuss & Examine Events, People, Concepts and Ideas Physical Activity Increases Engagement and Memory Retention Opportunties for Students to Learn from Each Other Take Notes
