The blog posts that have been completed by my Walden class are quite well done and, as always, cover a myriad of educational topics! Have I mentioned FETC (the Florida Educational Technology Conference)? It is the largest educational trade show in the Southeastern United States and will take place  January 23rd - 26th at The Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. I will be attending this year and look forward to blogging and reporting to the class from the conference!

Here are two books that I have used for many years. Look for updated versions as these are both very much "oldies, but goodies"! The Social Studies Teacher's BOOK OF LISTS (Partin, 1992). Here is a sample: #326 Stress Prevention Techniques, avoid catastrophizing, avoid getting too wrapped up in yourself, be an actor, not a reactor, choose to be happy (these are just a sample of 54 techniques offered!)

The second book that I have had and used for years is The NEW Reading Teacher's BOOK OF LISTS (Fry, Fountoukidis, and Polk, 1985). A sample includes: #25 SIMILES, #26 METAPHORES, and # 27 IDIOMS.

Other useful "books of lists include: The Ultimate Book of Top 10 Lists (Frater, 2010), The Book of Lists (Wallechinsky and Wallace, 2005), and The Art Teacher's Book of Lists (Hume, 2010).

Hello, Again Class!

I just learned an important lesson. Never blog in Blue on Brown! Also, I have posted the Blogs list to Doc Sharing in our class. Dr. Hertz
Hi Class,

I set up this great looking Blogsite and then drew a complete blank on what to blog! This will improve, I promise!  Dr. Hertz
