Voice Platform and Support Network for Families of Missing and Victims of Crime
"In the old days orgs and advocates and law enforcement thought they owned cases. This cut the families out of a lot of resources, a lot of chances for resolution. Even if you don't believe in a national repository, NamUs .... think about the families you serve. They shouldn't have to like I did go to multiple sites, ambulance chase down news articles, question if it is their loved one and try if possible look at dead bodies across the nation. It was like trying to find a needle in haystack. I ruined keyboards crying into them ... so frustrated. Now the families have NamUs but we need Billy's Law to pass so there is one site in the US that all missing and all unidentified persons are listed. This in no way negates what the ethical orgs and trained advocates are doing. Having all listed in one spot actually makes it easier for the law enforcement, for the families, for the orgs and for the trained advocates....what was once inaccessible to them will now be totally accessible from wherever they have an Internet connection. Billy's Law is not taking money away from orgs but it is providing money to train LE. We've already touched so many LE officers just in initial training....we have turned them around on how they deal with missing cases and how important the families are to THEIR loved one's cases. We need Billy's Law to pass to get more trained . We need Billy's Law for the families .... how can anyone be against that?" - Maureen Reintjes
To find out more about as well as how you can best support Billy's Law, The Help Find the Missing Act - please go to Peace4 the Missing at http://peace4missing.ning.com/
I know most of you have probably shared about Billy's Law and NamUs before - but the more familiarized we're able to have as much of the general public be with - even the names themselves with broad meaning of - the better our chances are of passing Billy's Law and fully utilizing NamUs. <3
Be Persistant and spread the word! I am not tech savvy but have already sent letters. Keep making noise everyone! Be The voice!

For 2.4, there are patches needed as a few places expose HZ directly to userspace and that results in minor breakage of the ABI. IBM has done some work on s/390 and ARM (not sure on that one) for the mobile Linux watch to only enable timer ticks when there is a pending timer request. This results in significant power savings for the watch, and lots of CPU savings on mainframes running oodles of virtual machines. Iow, yes, people are aware of the problem and do want to fix it, but the patches may not be directly useable for you on x86 at present. -ben

Avoiding False Alarms - Tips from your local Security Professional.
Having a security system can certainly provide the peace of mind that many homeowners count on but your alarm system must be a reliable solution that you can trust. Here are a few simple things that you can do this winter to help prevent a false alarm. Your security system uses contacts on windows and doors which activate the alarm when separated. In our cold climate some door and window frames have the tendency to contract. This contracting increases the spacing between the door, window and the frame so check that all contacts are spaced correctly. To check for proper spacing of the contacts, enable the chime feature on the keypad (if not already on). Once the chime is enabled, close and lock the protected window or doors. Then try opening the door or window by pulling or pushing on it. If you do not hear the chime then the spacing alignment is correct. However, if you can hear the chime then you should consult your security company for an adjustment to the spacing of the contacts. The interior of most homes are protected with motion detectors. You can reduce false alarms by ensuring that the motion detector is mounted at the correct location. A professional installer is well versed at where to mount the devices so that they are at the right height with the correct settings as recommended by the manufacturer. Yet, homeowners can avoid false detection by simply being aware that the motion is sensitive to movement and heat. For example, moving a table to within six feet of a motion detector could offer your cat or small animal the perfect resting spot. This new resting spot can activate your motion detector and trigger an alarm. If you have a pet, you may want to consider one with intelligent signal analysis (ie. LC-100 from DSC) these motions detect pets up to 55 lbs. without triggering an alarm. Similarly to avoid triggering motion detectors, consider where you hang decorations. A balloon or streamer offers the perfect sway to set off a motion. It would be really frustrating to rush home or worse have the police dispatched because your alarm is going off only to find that your party decorations from the night before have come undone and are blowing around your foyer!! Lastly after 18 years in the business, I always recommend providing each key holder with their own four digit code. This code should be specific to the key holder and EASY to remember but not generic (i.e. Avoid using 1234 or the year of your birth etc.) By having a code that is easy for you to remember when in a stressful situation such as the alarm going off, you are less likely panic and forget the code. And please, if you don't remember any of my tips just remember this one… don't write your alarm code on or above the DSC Keypad! If you have an alarm, use it. You may never need it, but are you prepared to take that chance? SECUR-U Inc. has been a local leader of security systems in Milton for over 18 years. We would be happy to assist you with any questions that you may have.

My husband and I bought this cabinet as it looked like the perfect color cabinet for our bathroom. We needed just a small simple cabinet to hold baby towels, wraps, etc so that we would not need to leave our baby alone in the bathroom while getting supplies if we accidentally forgot something. In essence a linen storage cabinet. We were excited to receive this product but quickly became concerned. The instructions were nearly non existent simply pictures. Once my husband started to put it together we noticed that a piece of the drawer was cracked all the way along a seam. My husband simply got out some wood glue and reinforced it...Nervous but continued to put it together, hopeful, that the rest would turn out ok. We finally got everything almost put together (noticing that it was "shifty" by nature but thought it would "solid up" once we put the shelves inside) when we noticed the door (that looks so nice) was actually broken and then glued back together by the manufacturer. The glue was obvious, the crack it left was obvious, and the door looked awful. However, we put so much time in it that we at least just wanted to see if it would work. We placed it in the bathroom and I put in the baby's towels, wash clothes, and washing items. I then open and closed the door several times as if I might if I needed to get in it. The whole thing shook!!! Like it was going to fall right over! Once I saw this I knew we could not keep it! What if our infant, who will be a toddler, tries to get his own items and pulls it right over? It is that unstable! I would encourage anyone to really reconsider this product unless you will be using it iwth very short term goals in mind...say only good for up to a year in a dorm or small apartment. Otherwise NOT worth the headaches! Overstock was very good about the return, however, and emailed me a prepaid return shipping label and full refund.
I just completely remodeled my bathroom and when the linen cabinet arrived I was extremely excited. When I opened it up to put together, I discovered that it was antique brass instead of nickel. I will have to go and purchase so nickel handles to replace the antique brass handles. Very disappointing. The front will just have to stay what it is.
Great storage cabinet for a small corner in the bedroom. Shelves are spacious and I really like the small bottom drawer. The glass door is unique and makes it look very elegant. Very good quality for the price. I must say it was a bit difficult to assemble and required a power screwdriver as the holes were a bit small. Overall, I am pleased with it and it's well worth the money.
For this price I should have gone to a local store and got it assembled and brought home. It came damaged, plus needed extra special tools to fix it. Plus, to fix one particular part, it was so difficult. You need a child hand to reach and tighten. The screws are flimsy, a little over limit, gone forget that screw. They gave exactly what is needed. If you break one, use your imagination to fix it.
This is a very attractive, cute/petite item I'm using to hold/display stemware hubby scavenged when his parents' house was emptied. I have not known what to do with this stuff until I came upon this item. Perfectly solves my problem! Then stemware and the glassfront cabinet complement one another very nicely, and I am quite pleased! (But I really would have liked another foot of height/shelf-space. Also, not exactly rock-solid construction, but good enough for my purpose/siting.)
I love this cabinet. It looks beautiful in our bathroom. My only complaint is that the instruction were very poor for assembly. Thank goodness for my brother in law or I would have never gotten this together. But love the finished product.
It was ok I would recommend it to a friend with caveats like its build a little chancy so I am not sure how long it will last. But it arrived in good shape. My husband put it together costing him several hours of time that was not expected. I think "assemble is required" should be clearly identified. And I did not appreciate little round plastic stickers to cover up the bolts. However, it contains the stuff we expected it to and fits where we wanted it to.
The Cabinet looks great but the construction is very sub par.
Nice cabinet. Not easy to assemble. Suggest you add glue to wooden dowels for extra strength.
Overall, I'm pleased with the product. It originally came to us with a damaged door, like a lot of the other reviewers mentioned; however, they got us a new one quickly. Putting it together was a bit of a challenge. More difficult than your Target or Walmart furniture, but the directions were clear enough for us to figure it out. I have put together a lot of Target & Walmart furniture, but I honestly wouldn't have been able to put this one together without my husband's help (don't tell him I said that). It's really a matter of following it closely enough, so you don't make mistakes (we had to pull off pieces several times because we put it on backwards). Once put together, it looks really nice! We use it to hold extra dishes and glassware.

Abstract: The World Wide Web is growing at an exponential rate. There are more and more technologies being developed to provide different ways of accessing this huge information resource, as well as representing the information stored. Because of the increase in information available and people or agents accessing it, the issue of securing this information has become paramount. Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which the information is given well defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in co-operation.[1]. The web pages are designed to be read by humans and not machines.

Abstract: Portals are becoming the primary interface through which students, faculty, administrators and alumni interact with educational institutes. As a result, portals are rapidly becoming the most empowering strategic information system framework for institutional Information Technology (IT) solutions. Portals have become the most effective delivery mechanism for information creation, sharing and knowledge management strategy. The portal transforms the user's access method from desktop to a secure "WebTop," offering intelligent, integrated, and personalized access to enterprise services from anywhere, anytime. While humble in itself, the portal has the power and potential to transform institutions and make a significant contribution towards success. The goal of this paper is to assist in understanding or high lighting various aims, objectives, benefits, the role of Knowledge Management & Information Services (Library) as well as how it can be developed and implemented successfully for various other educational institutions by looking at the NID K-Portal model and architecture.

Abstract: The article presents a brief overview of Open Acess, IRs and Librarians role. Universities and other institutions can have complex motives for establishing IRs; providing free access to all IR materials is often one of them. Open access initiatives may focus on technical support costs of IRs, while librarians may also be concerned with various other problems such as staff and user training and support, IR advocacy and promotion, metadata creation and maintenance, and long-term digital preservation etc. Consequently, we can see IRs as cheap to support and quick to implement, while as librarians we can take a more cautious approach that takes in to consideration other constraints and the library maxim that it is easier to establish a new service than to stop offering one. IRs are best seen as an enabling technology for open access and as their best hope for establishing permanent repositories. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1160 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In the early days of the Net revolution most of companies launched their Net presence through corporate Websites. They used their websites to show their products and services with significant information content. As websites grew in number it became difficult for customer to locate or search the net for sites of their choice. Search engines thus emerged and went on to become key players, directing millions of surfers to various sites to get online search of their choice. However the phenomenal growth of search engines was accompanied by unprecedented choices opening up for the customer. This phase was marked by the transformation of search engines/directories into portals. Instead of competing on width offered by horizontal portals, players were forced to compete on depth. The libraries did not become aloof from the Net revolution. They also launched portals to attract the specific group of interest. This concept brought paradigm shift in the sense of "right information to right user from approaching relevant information", "save the time of users from separating irrelevant information", "educate the users for self search by arranging contents in specific manner".

Abstract: This paper emphasizes the significance, elements and functionality of library portals, the role of librarian as selector and organizer of information on the web. The portal offers the user the ease of searching many sources at once, integrating results from licensed resources and local databases and bibliographical descriptions of digitized material. Equally, the familiar portal interface is an option for searching databases that are unfamiliar to the users. Librarians bring their expertise with content, their knowledge of copyright, their commitment to customer service and their experience in creating customized web-based information delivery systems.

Abstract: One of the key challenges facing information managers today is the need to inter-relate different sources and types of Information, whether it be in an internet search across a range of resources with different formats, data structures and description standards or an ecommerce system that needs to exchange data between proprietary applications in order to complete a transaction. Understanding the structure of the data allows this to occur and metadata is the means by which this happens. Using metadata to record data about Information sources allows an initial assessment of compatibility and provides an avenue for merging information or for exchanging Information between systems. In other wards the concept of "interoperability" has become a major theme for information managers and ultimately for users. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/533 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) is a collaborative effort that provides an application- independent interoperability framework based on Metadata Harvesting. Though the OAI-PMH is a very recent development it is being regarded as an important step towards information discovery in the digital library arena. This paper looks into the issues leading to its development as well as gives an inside view of the proposed model. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/535 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Owing to the developments in Science and technology, the new millennium has experienced severe impact of information and communication technology on each and every walk of life irrespective of business, industry, banking sectors, academic including information industry. With an urge on the part of Librarians to provide techno-based information services, the libraries have undergone sea of changes moving towards digital world. In this context, the virtual library needs to strengthen their networking architecture, security and proper maintenance. An attempt has been made to develop software using Artificial Neural Network for security management of Libraries serving in the networked environ using MATLAB. Further highlighted the importance of ANN and provided hierarchy of security using ANN technology and explained the methodology of security protection to the DBMS especially Library software working in different platforms.

Abstract: The past few years have seen tremendous developments in information production, acquisition, and dissemination. Budgetary restrictions in research libraries have led to a period known as the serial cutting era. The new millennium has also ushered in the concept of the virtual library with seamless access to an integrated collection of print, electronic, and multimedia resources regardless of their physical location or ownership. Research scientists, policy makers, and reference librarians the world over are coming together to introduce reforms to make scientific knowledge affordable. Providing access to information free of charge in electronic formats is a concept that is gaining momentum. Open Access is one step ahead of Free Access. Open Access holds promise to remove both price and permission barriers to the scientific communication by using Internet. The present paper outlines the features of open access and the two vehicles viz. open access journals and open access archives. A few current open access initiatives in India are described in detail. In India, there is a large opportunity for open access publishing but still the number of registered archives is very less. Indian scientific communities and organizations like Indian Academy of Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Indian National Science Academy, NISCAIR, INFLIBNET, etc are now actively taking initiatives towards creation of institutional repositories and providing open access to their publications.

Abstract: The libraries have adapted themselves to a new challenge of information integration and presentation in order to enhance access to the widely dispersed and distributed electronic information and publications. The open URL standard is a breakthrough for achieving the means to integrate electronic resources of the library. Open URL mechanism transports metadata of electronic resources from one resource to another and provides dynamic links from metadata to full content of the resource described by the metadata. This paper describes the concept underlying the Open URL mechanism, explains the Open URL structure and the link resolvers as the linking component for the resource integration in the libraries.

Abstract: Catalog used to be a one point resource locater in Library in earlier days. Library professionals and users are happy with that practice in the print only era. Due to emergence of Electronic Resources, the role of catalog is also changing. Electronic resources have become reality along with print resources. Accessing electronic resources shows that librarians and users are facing a complex set of challenges. While a number of products have evolved for each aspect of the problem, the question is, how can they all be designed and implemented in such a way that they all work together, providing a clear and seamless interface for library users and avoiding redundant work for library staff? To date, no single product exists that provides comprehensive management of electronic resources. Will portals or federated search solutions be the answer to managing and providing access to resources available from academic libraries as well as other content needed by the academic community? With many, disparate electronic information sources available today, users are challenged with identifying and locating resources that match their needs. This paper explores some of the issues related to future of the catalog. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/548 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The advent of the World Wide Web and digitisation of publications have resulted in the proliferation of a vast amount and format of content types. Initiatives such as cyber infrastructure recommended by the NSF foundation provide specifications for accessing data, information support the emerging collaborative processes within sciences and includes several components relevant for libraries. Libraries are rapidly changing and expanding to web-based delivery of content and related access services in order to conform to the changing information seeking methods and expectations of their users. Developing an understanding of changing user demands and the basic building blocks of a new architecture will be a challenge in our current library environment. Presently our current technical systems are organized around data (e.g. the catalogue, vendor-based indexes and publishers) or services (e. g. interlibrary-loan, circulation and reference). One approach is to design multitired architectures that include an integration layer providing programme level services for user level applications such as a portal. Web portals are seen as positive potential frameworks for achieving order out of chaos. The library portal is one approach to organize information resources and services in a way that supports the users' needs. However, the library portal will not be the only starting point for access to the library. The future of library websites in fact lies in integration of different effective information management and need based service modules. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1152 Files in this item: 1

Sharing Skills at School
Sharing and gaining skills doesn't have to cost big bucks. Laura Shaw explains how to set-up your own feminist knowledge bartering collective.
Somewhere along the way, I missed out on some pretty useful life lessons, from sewing buttons, to fixing bike chains, to DIY hair care and styling, to properly stretching after sitting in front of the computer all day.
When I thought about all the things I wanted to learn, I realized I already knew my potential teachers: my friends. Everyone is an expert in something, or wants to be, and since most of us can't afford to pay for cooking/coding/makeup lessons, I needed to find a way to assemble other like-minded ladies together so we could teach and learn from each other, without having to pay for it.
It was with these objectives that my friend Dayna Jones and I created The Ladies Rhythm and Movement Club (The LRMC), a women's knowledge bartering group. The name is a reference to a women's dance group from 1902 that are mentioned in Canadian author Carol Shields' 1993 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Stone Diaries.
What is knowledge bartering?
Knowledge bartering at The LRMC is a free exchange of informal lessons between participants who trade off teaching and learning. It's founded on the idea that if I teach you something, my lesson is worth your knowledge about something else. The program could effectively run with only two people, trading off teaching and learning, but the more people get involved the more diverse workshops we're able to offer. Someone who's an expert cake decorator can teach others how, then at the next workshop she might learn how to repair a zipper or take a good photo without any money changing hands, except for the occasional production cost.
How do I start a knowledge bartering group?
Start small. We reached out to a dozen friends at first and once we got rolling, we easily scheduled one workshop every month. The more women learned about our group, the more they wanted to join and teach, and now we have a super-dedicated core group. It's a fun way to kickstart a network of awesome, inspired women who want to effect a positive change in their community.

22 Simple Ideas for Harnessing Creativity in the Elementary Classroom
December 14, 2011 | Trisha RicheHere's an experiment you can conduct in many schools, maybe even the school where you teach. Look through the door of one classroom and you might see the students hunched over, not engaged, even frowning. The teacher looks frazzled, tired and wishing he or she were somewhere else. You might think, "Well, everyone has a bad day." But you might witness this scenario in this teacher's classroom no matter what day you look through the door. For the second part of the experiment, look through the door of another classroom, and you might see a room full of lively students, eager, engaged and participating. The teacher is full of energy and smiling. This happens no matter what day you look through that door.
What is the second teacher doing that the first one isn't? He or she is using creativity in that classroom. Creativity makes a huge difference. Creativity is vital for a classroom to be successful. There is a common misconception that the word "creative" has to do mostly with the arts. But being artistic is only a small part of creativity. While any classroom environment would benefit from a teacher blessed with the gift of artistic talent, creativity is many other things.
Creativity is innovation.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. If something isn't working, then it's broken and needs to be fixed. Come up with something else that will work for your students.
Creativity is thinking outside the box.
Everything doesn't always have to be black and white. Sometimes the oddball activities are the ones that work.
Creativity is improvisation.
Things don't always turn out the way you planned. When I've realized that a lesson wasn't working midway through, I literally tossed it out and started over. I tried a different angle (in this case, incorporating a movie that my students liked), and it worked.
Creativity is professional growth.
We don't always have all of the answers. If you can't figure out what to do, use your coworkers as resources. You might find some really great ideas that make sense for your students. Also, look at research and see what has worked for other teachers around the world. Use resources like KS1, KS2, hubbardscupboard.org and starfall.com for some fun engaging activities.
Creativity is being a risk taker or mold breaker.
I have had many crazy ideas for things to try in the classroom. Some have worked and some haven't, but I found that trying was better than being stuck in the same pattern that isn't working.
Creativity is passion.
Be passionate about what you are doing. You are there to inspire students to become lifelong learners. If you want them to love learning, you have to love what you are teaching.
Suggested Activities: The Game of Learning
For the first six activities, seat your students in a circle and introduce a ball or something else they can pass easily between them.
1. "I know a word"
You can begin this skills game by saying, "I know a word that starts with the same sound you hear at the beginning of butterfly." Students will raise their hands, and you choose one to tell you a word the starts with "B." Once they tell you the word, toss them the ball. They choose someone else to tell them another word that begins with that letter, passing the ball to the student who gets it right. As the game continues, change the letter every so often. Play until everyone has had a turn. You can use this game for beginning sounds, ending sounds, middle sounds etc.
2. Rhyme time
Say, "I need a word that rhymes with cat." Pass the ball to someone once they give you a correct rhyming word. Keep changing the starting word and continue the game until all kids have gone.
3. Practice counting
You can have your class practice counting by twos, fives and tens. Pass the ball clockwise or counterclockwise, with the student who receives it saying the number that comes next. For example, you say, "We are going to count by fives. Five!" The person next to you says "ten," the next one says "fifteen," and so on.
4. Spelling review
For older kids, you can pass the ball and go through your spelling words one letter at a time. For example, you say, "We're going to spell the word their, as in 'This is their ball.'" The first person says "T," the second person says "H," the third person says "E," and so on. If one says the wrong letter, the next person says correct letter and fixes the mistake.
5. "I need a synonym"
This is a great vocabulary building exercise. You can use the ball or a pair of flyswatters, depending on the age of your students. You say, "I need a synonym for mad." Choose someone to give you another word that means the same thing, such as angry, furious and enraged. For older kids, you can put a list of synonyms on the board and divide the class into two teams. Have one person from each team come up and compete. Whoever slaps the board with the flyswatter and says the correct synonym wins a point for their team. In the end all of your students win a better vocabulary.
6. Reinforce other skills
What other subjects are you teaching? You could adapt these games to fit pretty much anything. "I need a name of an explorer." "I need you to name one of the phases of matter." "I need to know one of the reasons for the Civil War." Be creative!
7. Roll dice to have your students answer story questions.
"What is the plot of the story?" you might ask them. "What is the setting?" You can introduce more reflective questions such as, "Why did this character do what he or she did?" and "What was the author's purpose?" You can write these questions on cards or purchase them from reallygoodstuff.com.
8. Sight Word Slap Game
Write your sight words on the board. Separate your class into two random teams. Let one person from each team step forward and hold a fly swatter. Call out one of the sight words. The first one to slap the correct sight word gets a point for their team. Continue until everyone has gone. This is great for helping sight word recognition.
Suggested Activities: The Artsy Side of Creative
9. Use different voices or accents when reading stories to the class.
10. Dress in costumes of storybook characters to leave a lasting impression, or let students dress up as characters to retell stories.
11. Turn your room into the environment of what you are learning about. When the class is learning about fairy tales, turn your classroom into a castle. When you're learning about animals, turn your classroom into a jungle.
12. Create class songs about topics they need to know, or use the music of singers like Hap Palmer and Jack Hartman. You might also borrow songs and games from coworkers. Songs are catchy, and children learn quickly from them.
Creative Science
13. When teaching about the properties of friction, use KS2 for interactive projects you can do in small groups or as a class using a smart board. You might ask your students slide down the hallway first in their socks, then barefoot, and have them journal about the different amounts of friction.
14. When teaching phases of matter, drop some food coloring into beakers of cold and warm water and note the difference. Then pour the contents of one beaker in a bag and put it in the freezer. The next day, compare the liquid bag with the solid chunk of ice and note differences.
15. Use the ice from the above activity and talk about gravity. Stand on a chair and discuss what will happen if you drop the ice, and if it matters which way you drop it. Let your students predict the possible outcomes.
Incorporate Your Students' Favorite Things
16. Survey your students at the beginning of the year. Get to know them and what they like. Then make a point of using their names, favorite foods, games, books, etc. in word problems, writing exercises, shared reading and many other activities. People do better and learn more when working with things they like. As adults we know that we don't want to do something if it's not fun. The same goes for kids.
Creative time savers
17. Have your students rely on each other as resources. For each table, pick a team leader to try answering his or her classmates' questions before they come to you for help.
18. Pair your higher achievers with lower achievers to study sight words, letters or other skills.
19. Put them into literature circles to discuss books.
20. Have them read one another's writing to check for completion or suggest ideas before they come see you.
21. Use the Leap Frog Tag reading system. You can plug it into the computer to get student scores on activities, which will provide guidelines for what you need to work on. This is a great way to collect data!
22. Have a "math problem of the day" journal to review skills in which your students scored low on assessments. Put the problem on the board and have them copy it into their journals at the beginning of the day. You can take a minute or two after they have completed it to review the problem with the class. Check notebooks later for understanding.
Live Like a Turtle
For those of you trying to figure out how you'll find the time to integrate all this into an already busy teaching day, here's some food for thought. It will take longer to teach a lesson three times than it will to teach it once using a little creativity. Make time for creativity. Most of the above creative activities take only a few minutes to do. They also require very little prep time and cost very little money, if any. So go ahead -- be a risk taker and try at least one of these ideas this week. I'm sure you won't regret it.
As I said above, everyone has bad days, but overall my classroom is a happy place to be. It's like this because I use creativity to make learning fun. I live by these words that Dr. Ruth once said: "Live life every day like a turtle." To get anywhere, a turtle has to stick its neck out and take a risk. So take risks every day. It's the only way to truly live and make a difference in the world.
What are some of your favorite tips and tricks for bringing creativity into your elementary students?

We All Want to Have Fun!
Children learn a lot like adults do. We all want have fun and be entertained while learning. Remember when comedy defensive driving came out? If we can be engaged while learning, frustration and time are spared. No child (or adult) wants to feel like he doesn't know anything. New concepts should be presented in different ways. As John Medina says, our brains are wired differently. We all require different connectors that fit our uniqueness and creativity is the place to go!
What makes learning fun is the teacher. You can bring out the newest, most exciting math-based game ever. If kids don't understand the specified math concepts, they won't get the game. Preschool children who don't know what letters mean don't get as much from Starfall as those children understand what the alphabet represents. Teachers make learning skills fun, and you can always tell who these teachers are because they are having fun with their kids as well. Thanks for your post!
Thank you, Trisha. This is
Thank you, Trisha. This is super. As an extension to number three, I observed a 1st grade teacher who conducted such a counting game, letting the students choose what they would be counting by, THEN letting them pick the starting number and going with that! So...counting by 5's, starting with 29! She let the kids tell her how they would go about this...let to some great (and multiple) strategies. So cool!
Trisha, Thank you for sharing some wonderful ideas that can be easily implemented in the classroom; and for being a voice for our efficacy, i.e., that what we can make learning more successful for students. Mary
Curiosita Teaching - new creativity resources
Two new books just published by Pieces of Learning integrate creativity (creative thinking) into all teaching and learning. The first book shows teachers how to use creativity as the organizational framework for instruction. Chapters included address curriculum design, assessment, climate, etc. - there are also chapters with supporting research and rationale and data addressing diverse populations. The second book has 150+ activities and extensions with ready to use classroom templates for integrating creativity using lessons like the ones described in this blog!

"Bravo should make a reality show in which Trisha gets to go into classrooms of struggling teachers and help them find their way." I love this idea MnMS Mom. I would love to do this show! Anyone interested in filming this show, call me :)
Thank you for the compliment!
Thank you for the compliment! I've always had a lot of creativity in me and I was so happy that I could share it with others. I would love to read the book. I will look for it this weekend and give it a go with my students when I get back in January! I am a fan of reading higher literature for vocabulary development. I've read Tale of Despereaux,The Miraculous journey of Edward Tulane and many others. We read them a couple of chapters at a time. I use them for rich vocabulary building, imagery and much more. My students use some large words they have learned in their own writing. You don't know how happy it makes me to see words like quest, journey, scrumptious and delicious in Kindergarten writing! They can achieve anything with high expectations and nurturing. :)
This sounds like a great
This sounds like a great activity! I have made one school video. We interviewed everyone in the school about what their job was and we even interviewed some students. Students and myself were the reporters that asked everyone "What is your job?" It is really cute and the kids love seeing themselves on film. I think I will try something like you suggested and put their fairytale stories on film. They would love it!
Thank you for this wonderful
Thank you for this wonderful compliment! I'm just doing what I know is right for my students and I always will. Creativity rocks! :)

Piano, Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Theory
I am a Music Therapist but also have my background in Psychology and Masters in Social Work. I have been teaching voice, guitar and piano lessons for 10 years. I have directed children's Musical theater camps, and taught piano and voice in music studios and privately for years.
Performance wise I have been on TV, musicals and I have sung in a band myself as well as performed on cruise ships for entertainment.
I enjoy all forms of music. My personal favorites are Jazz, especially Brazilian Jazz, Musical Theater, Alternative Independent Rock and the Classics of course ;)
Piano, Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Songwriting
Piano, singing, and songwriting began for me when I discovered really awesome piano music such as with bands like Queen, Yes, and ELP. After high school, I studied classical music composition at Wheaton College's Conservatory of Music receiving my Bachelors in Music Composition with a focus in piano. My professional experience includes singing on film/tv productions such as High School Musical, Hairspray, and Struck By Lightning. I compose and orchestrate for theater (Glendale Center Theater, Vanguard University Theater Department), film/tv, orchestra (L.A. Jewish Symphony, TCOTW, BIOLA University) and album projects (Anna Nalick, Oodle's World Productions).
Singing credits include High School Musical 1, Hairspray The Movie, High School Musical 3, Chris Kolfer's new movie Struck by Lightning, Atlanta Aquarium Dolphin Show recording, Boston Public, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire ad (New Wave Ent.), and The Drew Carey Show. I'm also a professional piano player for American Idol finalist Stevie Scott, various other bands, Mastro's restaurants, and local churches.
Currently producing my second children's music album for Oodles World, Inc.
I love to share musical knowledge. I really enjoying teaching.
Film Acting, Improv Acting, Meisner Technique, Method Acting, Shakespearean Acting, Singing, Theater Acting, Acting, Algebra, Basic Math, Broadway Singing, Elementary Math, English, Geometry, History, Language, Math, Music Performance, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Pre Algebra, Reading, Speaking Voice
I fully enjoy teaching music and theater to others and spreading the art of performance, reaching out to all generations. I believe in customizing every lesson to be unique for my students in a way that will serve their individual needs. I teach with patience and encouragement and believe that students prosper and improve much more from a positive experience. My lessons are intended to be fun and influential in a positive light that can lead to a rewarding career, hobby, or just for personal enjoyment!
Every since I was a little girl, I have been devoted to the arts. When I began college, I knew that music was my path. As a music major I developed a deeper understanding of music theory, piano, voice, and theater. I recieved my A.A. in Music at College of the Desert and my Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Redlands- which I attended on a music scholarship. I have played leading roles in several operas and musicals in Southern California, including Gianni Schicchi, Die Fledermaus, La Boheme (DTL nominee), The Impresario, The Grand Duke, Patience (DTL award), Cosi fan tutte, Little Women the Musical, Seussical the Musical, and many more. I have also appeared in several concerts, opera scenes, competitions (winning music scholarships and theater awards), and worked as a singer at churches, restaurants, and in pop bands. I continue to perform and study music because performing is a part of who I am and I could never live without it.
With this experience under my belt, I feel a desire to pass on my knowledge to students. I carry a strong passion to help people develop their abilities and make them their own. I truly believe that if someone wants something out of life then they WILL achieve it with dedication, perseverance, confidence, and by having FUN doing it!
Piano, Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting
I started playing music at age 9, when my mom decided to put me in piano lessons. Much to her surprise, I fell in love with the instrument and played non-stop, sometimes skipping dinner to read through a new piece or practice for an up coming competition. After winning a few state wide competitions, I enrolled in an arts high school to practice my craft, and be around other creative high school students.
While in High School, I started writing music and singing in a 16 member chamber choir. The summer before my senior year, I won the prestigious Berklee songwriting competition and was awarded a scholarship to the school, which I decided to decline to make my way towards the music mecca of Los Angeles.
I received a Bachelor's degree from CalArts where I focused on contemporary piano/voice and composition.
Since graduating in 2010, I've released an EP entitled 'Living in Layers'. I sing and play piano in a number of bands including cover bands and original projects, mostly in the pop/rock/soul veins. Some of my collaborators include Akon and Andy Samberg (for an SNL short), Ben Lee (platinum selling Australian recording artist), Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), and the Swingle Singers (Acclaimed British A Capella group).
I have love in my heart for both classical and popular music, and I think my combination of the 2 will make for a very well-rounded lesson experience. I would say that my biggest strength as a musician is that I'm well rounded, and can work with just about anyone in any style. I can help you understand the styles that excite you, but also open your eyes to other new and exciting things. I would say that I specialize in writing, and work very well with students interested in composition and songwriting.
Singing, Acting, Broadway Singing
Erica, professionally known as Erica Piccininni, is a singer/actress from the original Broadway cast of the 2006 Tony award winning "Jersey Boys". She recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue film and television, and has been featured in over a dozen national commercials, including a currently airing national Budweiser spot. She has performed as a singer in New York and around the country for nearly ten years, and was classically trained at New York University where she recieved her bachelor of music in Vocal Performance/music theatre in 2001. Erica also originated the lead role of "Liz" in "Palm Beach:the Screwball Musical" at its national premiere at the highly acclaimed La Jolla Playhouse under director Des McAnuff, dir. of "Jersey Boys" as well as the upcoming broadway revival of "Guys and Dolls". She understands that passion for singing that you have, or that your kid has, and wants to get you where you need to be to succeed in a college program audition or in the real world! She has been studying voice for nearly 15 years, and understands the neccessity of beginning singers with solid, healthy habits at a very young age, so you have your voice ALL your life, even when belting your heart out. Most importantly, she knows that it is the combination of technique AND expression that builds truly unique young performers...and every kid is one of them, because there is no other YOU on the planet :). In other words, she does not stifle expression/acting with stiff technique, but offers the perfect balance of healthy vocal technique and connection to your performance. This is the ONLY way to work your way to success: by letting you shine through. If you or your kid's goal is not a career in singing but just to explore your potential as a beginning singer, Erica's style is patient and fun!
Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Opera Voice, Speaking Voice
I believe that everyone can sing, it is just a matter of learning how to use your unique instrument. From a very young age I was sharing my love of the arts with others as a performer. I grew up with an immense appreciation for all forms of art and found music to be the ideal way to express myself. My extensive education and performance experience has allowed me to cultivate my skills and knowledge so that I can best support each student on their own unique journey of cultivating their authentic singing voice. As a teacher I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to support students both in my studio and through online lessons, providing the positive and supportive guidance and experiences they need in order to cultivate their own musical gifts.

"I think it's a good idea," he said. "It gives the top teams more of a chance to get there instead of just the top two [polled teams]," DeCarlo said. "It will allow the right team to earn a spot to play for the championship."
Hyland understands the enthusiasm of young players and the emotional investment of the millions of college football fans, but he warns of the motives.
"If we want to find a true college football champion on the field, a playoff is the best way to do it," Hyland said. "But college football is big business. Playing too many extra games is a problem. We have to protect the players first."

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Adrian Peterson isn't back to normal yet.
Peterson, though, is not a run-of-the-mill running back. He possesses a unique blend of fierce determination, perpetual optimism and seemingly superhuman strength, so if anyone can come back ahead of schedule and pick right up where he left off it's probably him.
His steady progress and lack of setbacks since tearing the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last Dec. 24 has only increased the expectations that he'll find a way to be on the field for the season opener Sept. 9 when the Vikings host the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Peterson spoke to reporters during minicamp Wednesday, his usual upbeat attitude contradicting the dreariness of a rainy afternoon dominated by wide receiver Percy Harvin's request for a trade.
Harvin told Peterson recently he's cutting so well it's tough to tell he was injured.
``So that made me feel good,'' Peterson said.
But even Peterson had to put aside his utopian view for a few seconds and acknowledge the reality of his situation. There is still much work to be done.
``I know my body overall, and I know I'm just not there yet,'' Peterson said. ``It's not terrible, but I'm not to where I know I need to be.''
Training camp starts in five weeks.
``He really is on course and still doing well, but we need to see him be able to cut, be able to explode out of a cut and change direction without having any residual effects from that. Then the next step would be maybe putting shoulder pads on and seeing how he takes contact and seeing how he cuts when people come at him,'' head coach Leslie Frazier said, adding: ``We're too far out right now to predict where we'll be five weeks from now.''
Peterson declared himself ``pretty much wide open'' as far as his ability to go full speed in any type of drill, exercise or activity. But as Frazier noted, putting those pads on is another story. For now, he's continuing to try to restore strength in the muscles above and below the knee so they're back to pre-injury condition as well as practicing the kind of cuts, plants and pivots he'll have to perform without hesitation or limitation to return to All-Pro form.
``I'm doing as much as I can. I'll be talking to the coaches and whispering in their ears and trying to get out there as much as possible. But we'll see,'' he said.
NOTES: LB Jasper Brinkley, in line to be the new starter at the middle spot, is being held out of minicamp because of a groin problem. He missed last season after hip surgery. Frazier said the injuries aren't related, but he again expressed concern about the team's depth at that position. ``You can't make him go out there and practice if you know it's going to create some issues for him health-wise, but it does definitely make you concerned,'' Frazier said. ... WR Stephen Burton, a seventh-round draft pick last year who is in the mix for a roster spot, has pneumonia and won't practice anymore this week.

Is Sony's NW-HD1 the iPod Killer?
So are there any negatives to Sony's device? Well, continuing their tradition of creating their own standards, the Walkman NW-HD1 only plays Sony ATRAC files. What does this mean to you? Your MP3 files, along with any music purchased through any online music store (aside from the abysmal Sony Connect) will have to be converted to ATRAC format if you want to use it on this device. I'm calling it now - because it can't even play MP3's, the Walkman NW-HD1 will be a failure.
Talk about Sony's new device on the Gear Live Boards

your site rocks. but imo you're right about this product flopping. i mean, who can be arsed to convert 20-40 GB of mp3 to atrac? i thought sony was smarter than that. i might presume the corporate cheerleaders and marketers must have overpowered the engineers and forced this thing to not be mp3-capable.
