My husband learned pretty early on in our marriage that telling me to "relax" when I was feeling stressed was not in his best interest. My response is always more favorable when he offers to help or even just listen. This came to mind when I read an article by behavior specialist, Jessica Minahan, on teaching children self-calming skills. As teachers, parents and therapists, we often tell children to relax or calm down, but many children don't know how and behavior can escalate.

One of the best things about iPad is that it gives you a great improved reading experience. Be it reading an eBook or just a PDF document, users love the brilliance of its screen and the legibility of its text and graphics. But some of students are still having trouble in selecting the right and appropriate apps that can help them view, edit, and even annotate PDFs on their iPad. This is why I compiled the list below. It contains some of the best PDF apps out there. Go through them and see which one appeals to you the most.

"Well, here it is my favorite and most popular post of the year, my Top 100 Sites/Apps of the year!!! Continuing w/ the trend from last year, readers are going to find more and more apps on the list and less sites, as the flux in mobile learning and BYOD (bring your own devices) continues to rise. Also, you'll notice that there are a lot of learning tools for Digital Storytelling & Math. I believe the reason for this is because storytelling is a learning tool that can be used by a wide range of educators for any subject, and Math is a very popular subject w/ lots of diverse ways to go about teaching it. W/ that I hope you enjoy this list and as always thanks again for reading!!!" Via John Evans

I am looking for new online tools to share with our teachers -- and this list looks like it has many that are easy to use -- and that enhance learning. Like Geddit -- where the students can give the teacher feedback on how well they understand -- sounds very cool.
