“Don’t Eat The Marshmallow, Mr. Ferlazzo”

I did my self-control lesson two weeks ago (a summary is here and the complete lesson is in my book).

On Friday, I showed impatience with one of my students. Another student then called me over and said, in a respectful tone, “Don’t eat the marshmallow, Mr. Ferlazzo.”

I thanked him, and then went over to apologize to the student with whom I had been short.

It’s always a positive sign when students feel that they can critique the teacher….




The Best Resources For Learning About Felix Baumgartner’s Jump From The Edge Of Space

Felix Baumgartner has made it safely back to earth. Here are a few quick links about his jump — most also include multimedia features:

Skydiver breaks record for manned balloon flight at 23 miles high is from NBC.

Daredevil Jumps, and Lands on His Feet is from The New York Times.

Jumping From the Stratosphere is a NY Times slideshow.

The space adventure you can’t miss is from CNN.

Here’s a gif of his jump.

There he is!! Everything perfect. #SpaceJumpLIVE on Twitpic

Here’s an interactive from his main site.

The Telegraph has a nice interactive.

Here’s a BBC video and article.

Skydive from space: everything you need to know – interactive is from The Guardian.



Felix Baumgartner: Daredevil’s Supersonic Leap Breaks Three Records is from ABC News.

“The 20 most-watched TEDx talks so far”

TEDx events are TED-like events organized by local groups throughout the world, and there have 5,000 of them.

TED has just published “The 20 most-watched TEDx talks so far.”

I’m adding it to The Best Teacher Resources For “TED Talks” (& Similar Presentations).




“Findery” Opens To The Public

Findery (formerly known as Pinwheel) has just opened to the public. It lets you place notes and images on a virtual map that others can see if you make it “public.” For example, if my students search “Coit Tower” in San Francisco after our field trip there they can write about what they saw and experienced. They can upload photos, but unfortunately can’t grab them off the Web.

It’s probably going to around for awhile, since it’s been created by one of the founders of Flickr.

I’m adding it to The Best Places Where Students Can Create Online Learning/Teaching Objects For An “Authentic Audience.”



“The History of Human-Powered Flight”

The History of Human-Powered Flight is an impressive interactive timeline from NPR.

I’ve been collecting links for a “The Best…” list on flight, and this will certainly be on it when I get around to putting it together.




Best Tweets Of 2012

Every month I make a short list highlighting my choices of the best resources I shared through (and learned from) Twitter, but didn’t necessarily include them in posts here on my blog.

I thought it might be useful for both readers of this blog and for me to review those monthly lists and pick a few that I think are the very best “tweets” of the year.

If you don’t use Twitter, you can also check-out all of my “tweets” on my Twitter profile page or subscribe to their RSS feed.
