Most of this stuff isn't of me, so enjoy as you wish but give credit to thee.

6 Tips for Teachers: How to Maximize Shared Resources
Here are the first three (click through for the rest):
1) Introductory Session
If you’re using a new tool or website, model it in the classroom before your scheduled time. This will eliminate time spent explaining the tool and give your students more time to use it.
2) Do It Yourself FirstIf your students will be creating an artifact, create one of your own and time yourself from start to finish. This will allow you to know approximately how long it will take your students to complete the assignment. If your schedule is unpredictable, try not to assign anything that will take longer than the time you have.
3) Collecting Student WorkHave a plan ahead of time for how students will hand in their work. If you use Edmodo or Schoology, have your students use the dropbox feature. If you have a Dropbox account, create a DropItToMe page and have students hand in their work to your dropbox. If your school has a public folder or your students have access to a class folder, model in the classroom how to hand in their work using this method before your scheduled time and/or create a screencast that shows them how they can view it during the scheduled time. If you don’t plan for this, it will be a nightmare trying to organize student work, and you might not even be able to collect it in a timely fashion.

STUDY: Kardashians Get 40 Times More News Coverage Than Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification, which is currently at levels of 30% acidity and rising, has been called “global warming’s evil twin” and may be even more deadly and destructive than global warming itself, yet it receives very little media coverage. This is a huge media fail.
This is pretty sad and a major failure of our media system. (Of course, it’s somewhat our own faults, as they’re just reporting what people appear to be interested in.) Either way, we need to remedy this if we plan to remedy the big problems being ignored.
