Maintaining Self-Control in the Classroom

Hi guys,
We don't have assigned reading for this week. Our topic though is responding to inappropriate and violent behavior, so I thought I would post a discussion about that. Here is a website I found that stresses how important it is to maintain self-control in the classroom.

This slide is from the webpage above:


This video is also a good sum up of everything we have learned so far about classroom management

Hollywood in the Classroom

For Good movie ideas to share with your social studies classroom check out this webpage:

It also matches them up with time periods and topics.

I've seen most of these but there's a few I'm going to be adding to my Netflix queue!

Reflection CopyRight Laws

http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/copyrightlaw.html




I found this website online and I think a clear-cut way to determine what falls under fair use and what is copyrighting. I think it is good to keep in mind as educators because these laws can get confusing. I felt like the book was a bit confusing in explaining Fair Use and honestly think this page is a bit more understandable.

Reflections on Module 10

I think this was the most beneficial chapter we have read this semester. It primarily dealt with how to find a job, secure it, and excel in your profession. It explained how to develop a professional portfolio with unit plans, syllabi, objectives, lesson plans, videos, assessments, etc. One program that I wish I would have bought from the school is Chalk and Wire. It keeps hold of your old educational assignments. You organize it so that potential employers can look at the work you have done in the past. I really wish I would have invested in the program, now that it is time to start looking for jobs. My biggest objective for the break is to create my own Professional Portfolio probably using a blog like this one. I'll have to sort through my computer, old emails, and blackboard to find the old assignments that I have turned in for past education courses.
