http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Contemporary_Educational_Psychology/Table_of_Con...; Textbooks are outrageous!! They are poorly written, rarely read, and horribly expensive. I'm switching my educational psychology class to this online text.

Mantle of the Expert.com: Mar 27, 11:35am 1 review education, drama
http://www.mantleoftheexpert.com/; Mantle of the Expert is a concept developed by a great teacher, Dorothy Heathcote. This website has oodles of resources for learning to teach using improvisatory drama that covers the curriculum and keeps students engaged. I was delighted to find this as I have known about this type of drama for years but wanted to implement it in my teaching.

http://video.stumbleupon.com/?p=6407dyjtyk; Along with bluegrass, I love country music from the 1950's and 1960's. There is a certain sound there that has been since lost. Here is a great song by a great performer of that time. Interestingly enough, this song was written by Shel Silverstein.
