Links of the Week:


8 Steps to Self Control - The steps are at the bottom of the article but the article itself is an honest and irreverent look at all of us who are interested in increasing our own self control, plus it notes some seminal education issues of "grit" and why according to Dweck some of our students don't practice self control (it's because they don't believe it will work for them- many times because they have been unable to trust in the past.)
Wearable Drone Bracelet - Your students might think it's cool. Or scary.
Cleaning up Your Digital Footprint
