POPSQuantum Aspects of Game theory I like the way the author explained the ways in which Game Theory can be used to help business, as well as the ways managers may misuse the theory. This is also a good model for teachers to use when developing a plan to implement standards, teach content, affect student behavior and more. One problem with using any model, is trying to cherry pick the "best, right" answer to a particular circumstance and not deviating from the plan, even when the scenario changes. As the authors state so well, the best way to use Game Theory is to develop a "...range of outcomes". As teachers get closer to the points where the various outcomes diverge, there is usually more data that can be used to revamp the model and hone in on the point of actual reality.

POPSTeachers Can't Coast All through our lives, we are at various stages of interest and commitment to our work and personal lives. When you teach, you must be on target, and there is no room for coasting. This is this issue discused here in our PLN. I like the idea that Sharon Elin shared that possibly the "coasting" teacher may need some assistance to get back on track. Sometimes, personal or family illness can put a strain on a teacher's ability to respond in a robust manner to their students. As I always say, let's check out the antecedents, before we throw the baby out with the bath water. If assistance doesn't help, the "gold-bricking" teachers may need to work somewhere else where they may have better results with this behavior.

POPSMaking Technology Relevant for Education Using technology in our classes, just because it's out there, just for its own sake is a recipe for disaster. Technology in education is not the one new thing in town, it is the way we expand our teaching and learning. If we don't use it with an eye to relavance and rigor, the use of technology is pointless... This is why I chose this blog post to begin our group clog, the ABCs of PLN Power. Good teachers know how to teach, and good technology should enhance that good teaching through opportunities to expand student learning.

POPSPlumped Poster Presentation Glogster is a very popular web application among teachers and students. You can use Glogster as a static poster or background. For instance, I have seen glogsters used as backgrounds for wikispace pages. I believe its most important use is as a front page portal to an entire presentation.

POPSThe Quality School When I saw Bobby DelRay's clip of the The 7 Habits of Truly Miserable People, I had to clip another of Dr. Glasser's books. This is one of his books that teach practical, yet effective ways to treat yourself and others with respect. His ideas about education and schools have developed a group of schools that follow his philosophies. It's good for learning and for emotional health of children, students, and the entire education community.
