What behavior can we expect of octopuses? - The Cephalopod Page Behavior in Octopuses http://www.thecephalopodpage.org/behavior.phpHow children learn "Children do not need to be made to learn", Holt maintains, because each is born with what Einstein called "the holy curiosity of inquiry". For them, learning is as natural as breathing. First published in 1967, How Children Learn has become a classic for parents and teachers, providing an "effective, gentle voice of reason" (Life). http://books.google.fr/books?id=glEiAAAAMAAJJungle Gyms: The Evolution of Animal Play - National Zoo| FONZ Brought to you by the National Zoo| FONZ. http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Publications/ZooGoer/1996/1/junglegyms.cfmMultimédia learning For hundreds of years verbal messages - such as lectures and printed lessons - have been the primary means of explaining ideas to learners. In Multimedia Learning Richard Mayer explores ways of going beyond the purely verbal by combining words and pictures for effective teaching. Multimedia encyclopedias have become the latest addition to students reference tools, and the world wide web is full of messages that combine words and pictures. Do these forms of presentation help learners? If so, what is the best way to design multimedia messages for optimal learning? Drawing upon 10 years of research, the author provides seven principles for the design of multimedia messages and a cognitive theory of multimedia learning. In short, this book summarizes research aimed at realizing the promise of multimedia learning - that is, the potential of using words and pictures together to promote human understanding. http://books.google.com/books?id=ymJ9o-w_6WECAugmented Learning

Learn Me Good by John PearsonCreateSpaceJack Woodson was a thermal design engineer for four years until he was laid off from his job. Now, as a teacher, he faces new challenges. Conference calls have been replaced with parent conferences. Product testing has given way to standardized testing. Instead of business cards, Jack now passes out report cards. The only thing that hasn't changed noticeably is the maturity level of the people surrounding him all day. Learn Me Good is a hilarious first-person account, inspired by real life experiences. Through a series of emails to Fred Bommerson, his buddy who still works at Heat Pumps Unlimited, Jack chronicles a year-in-the-life of a brand new teacher. With subject lines such as "Irritable Vowel Syndrome," "In math class, no one can hear you scream," and "I love the smell of Lysol in the morning," Jack writes each email with a dash of sarcasm and plenty of irreverent wit.

What You Can Learn from Ronald Reagan by Donna Sammons Carpenter, Maurice Coyle, and The Editors of New Word CityNew Word City, Inc.Ronald Reagan was a product of America’s heartland, a kid who had a Huck Finn childhood and never lost his aw-shucks, all-American optimism. He moved to Hollywood, became a minor film star and got involved in politics - at first on the left. But in the shadow of the 1950s’ anti-communism furor, he moved to the right and began a steady rise to the pinnacle of power.

Using extraordinary charm, conviction, communication skills, and stagecraft, Reagan became one of the most beloved, admired, and influential presidents in American history.
