| | Go here if you need to download Acrobat Reader for viewing .pdf files. Most newer machines have this software, but if yours is older, you need to add this. It's free! |
| | This site examines whether behavior problems could really be vision problems in disguise. There are many options, and all are worthwhile, but you do not have to read every single one. |
| | From Education World |
| | From ASCD |
| | This site is from the Department of Education and lists many resources. |
| | I like this site quite a bit. |
| | Website deals with marketing strategies, but Engaging Kids section has good quick explanations for learning styles, learning behaviors, etc. |
| | This is a bit dated, but the information is still valuable. |
| | This is an excellent site for finding scholarly articles. Sometimes they are not available to the general public (some are subscription only); however, many articles are accessible as well as informative.
|
| | This is an Australian site, and contains many great .pdf and Word files. Go to the Research Papers link at the top of the page. The one I'm really excited about is "Don't Waste Your Breath." You might want to explore the other offerings as well.
The length of the URL seems to be causing some problem, so I'm pasting it below:

This is a .pdf file and you will need Adobe's Acrobat Reader to view it. (Visit www.adobe.com) You can also view the html version, but it is more difficult to read:

Andrew Fuller gives us "An Introduction to the Mysterious World of the Adolescent Brain." This is a great resource for secondary teachers.

| | These resources are amazing. Drs. Jay and Maureen Neitz of the Department of Ophthalmology in the Medical College of Wisconsin have put together some presentations to help those of us who are not color blind learn what it is like for someone who is color blind. Check out the links to "Color Blind World" and "Excuse Me!" and you will have a deepened appreciation for what the condition entails.
|
| | The online world has a set of rules governing acceptable behavior, just like every other society. Those rules have been given the general title of "Netiquette." This offering from Wikipedia does a nice job of explaining the basics. In general, follow the Golden Rule. If you inadvertantly make a mistake, admit it and apologize. Come to think of it, those are pretty good rules for the non-virtual world! |
| | Classroom Management that Works |
| | This article is a bit dated, and the information is geared to parents of children who are blind or visually impaired; however, the chart explaining self-stimulating behaviors can be very helpful to classroom teachers. |
| | This is from the Florida Department of Education's Bureau of School Improvement. |
| | This is the Department of Education report showing the number one indictor of college success is the rigor of the high school program. What implications does this have for the constructivist point of view? |
| | Although these might seem obvious, it's good to review them occasionally. |
| | More good review |
| | This resource lets us simulate how our web pages look to people who are color blind. The Daltonize link corrects images for color blind viewers. |
