Win Win Discipline by Dr. Kagan
Here is a description of Win-Win Discipline for tomorrow's attendeed:  Win-Win Discipline is an effective approach to classroom discipline. It is designed to handle discipline PROBLEMS at the moment of the disruption with powerful and proven discipline strategies; but more importantly, it targets the root of discipline PROBLEMS—students' unfulfilled needs.  Excerpted from: http://www.kaganonline.com/free_articles/dr_spencer_kagan/ASK15.php

Fighting Absenteeism:
Thanks to the person who left me the advertisement from the Council on Children and Families.  You can see their resource site at www.everystudentpresent.org.  I will look at this and you're also welcome to.

Great picture resizing tool:
Rob H put a picture resizing tutorial in the tech folder (click above).  If you are using pictures right off your camera, chances are the file will be too big in size, even when you make it look smaller in a document or presentation.  Some images are more than 4 mb when taken on your camera, depending on your settings.  That size will make the doc or presentation awfully big.  Have you ever clicked onto a page where the pictures slowly load, especially when there are several? Try this resize tool  to make the file much more manageable.

Finding things in Google Drive:
Here are a few tips for finding files.  All these files are in the tech/tutorials folder.
