The Advancement Courses spring sale is happening now. They are sponsoring this post, and since some of their most popular courses are on the topic of classroom management, they asked me to create a resource for helping teachers with classroom management.

Of all the learning trends of the past 20 years, one of the most sweeping and impactful has been the rise of the maker movement.

Several months ago, I started to jot down ideas about what I'd cover in my annual review of what's happened over the course of the past 12 months in the field / industry /promotion of education technology. Of course, the latter is just wishful thinking. Carnegie Mellon announced it would open source its digital learning software.
