The Collaborative Commons: Classroom Management Portal
Brian Mannix writes about his classroom monitoring portal that he has set up. He has done a very good job of this. This is an online classroom management strategy that Julie and I will be discussing a bit in the new book from Pearson Publishing in January 2012. Brian as part of our certified teacher program has seen a preview of this book.

Teachers’ Views on Technology in the Classroom – Video Feature – NYTimes.com
Some great videos including one by the American School of Bombay that features a connection facilitated by the Flat Classroom work we’ve done in India. Lots of great work here. I think the only thing that bothered me a bit is to see kids typing slowly with two fingers when they could know how to type properly and be at least 2-3 times more productive. Great videos.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
