Whether you’re a new teacher or an old pro, one of the first responsibilities a teacher faces during “back-to-school” time is decorating the bulletin board. This is precious space that should be utilized wisely – after all, you never know who will be coming into your classroom or walking by, so you want to broadcast student achievement, projects, and events as proudly as possible.

Shark Week, Discovery Channel's annual celebration of the fearsome fish, ended last week, but that doesn't mean you can't keep the excitement and learning going all year round. Let's face the facts: you're always looking for a lesson plan that has Shark-Week-levels of excitement and interest. Because a new school year is right around the corner (or already in session for some of you), we invite you to check out some great resources for your classroom. Many of these would be perfect icebreaking activities to discuss summers spent at the beach!

Dr. David Gelernter, a professor of computer science at Yale University, recently penned an opinion editorial about expanding online education options for students across the country. He contends that big problems in education call for big solutions. By leveraging the power of the internet, all students could potentially attend emerging "Neighborhood Internet Schools." These one-classroom schools would serve students of all grades and account for all subjects through online content and parental support.

I’ll admit it: as a student, I loathed math and science. In fact, one of the determining factors in selecting my college major was how little math and science was required to get my degree. I also figured that I had enough trouble solving my own problems as a college freshman without having to solve x’s problems, too. Besides, as an aspiring professional violinist, I was engrossed in practicing music, oblivious to the fact that math, science, and music significantly overlap. In my sage adulthood, I now realize that I didn’t hate math and science – I just hated how it was taught to me.
