Much of what we are about involves finding ways to reach ALL kids and involve students in the leaning experience. If students are involved and engaged in learning, they wont be as likely to become distracted and create issues in your classroom. The following ideas will help you eliminate monkey business in the classroom and include all your students in the learning process.

1. In addition to lecture, present class information in a variety of ways to include more than just the verbal/linguistic learners.

2. Teach students effective study and review techniques. Model effective study strategies during class study time.

3. Explore ways to include all students in learning by pairing or grouping slower learners and fast burners together or in groups with your average students.

4. Teach and model memory strategies such as mnemonics, memory games, visualizations, and rhyming. Limit rote memory and worksheet activities.

5. Assign fewer worksheets. Make sure that worksheets you do use employ appropriate font sizes and include adequate white space.

6. Encourage the use of gel pens or color markers on assignments and in notebooks.

7. Consider all learning styles when planning whole class presentations. Look for ways to help students challenge themselves without losing those who are less capable.

8. Use size 14 pt. fonts, minimum, on all handouts and provide enough white space for comfortable reading. Use at least a 24 pt. font on your overheads so that students can see clearly from anywhere in the classroom.

9. Only use the textbook publishers version of unit tests after proofreading to see whether youve covered all that material. Prepare your tests BEFORE developing your lesson plans. Never use last years version of a test without matching it up to this years lesson plan first.

10. Give students many opportunities to move. Incorporate structured movement activities in your lessons and have students practice getting back to their seats efficiently.

11. Move students who have trouble up front to more effectively monitor their progress. Take the time to notice each student in the classroom throughout the lesson.

12. Do not embarrass students by using their poor work or disorganized materials as an example for the rest of the class. Also, remember that praising some students in front of everyone can be embarrassing. Be tactful when dealing with these issues.

If you do all these things, you will minimize monkey business in the classroom and students will reach higher behavioral and academic standards.

To become a successful internet marketer you will need to develop certain skills that are key to that success. One of the key skills that you will need to learn and use is time management. Managing your time the right way is a very important aspect of running a healthy online business. The truth of the matter is, if you are not managing your time correctly your internet business may encounter negative effects. In this article you will get to see what some of he negative effects are.

Falling behind in your work. Because there are so many different tasks and operations that have to be done to run a successful internet marketing campaign, from setting up your salespage, to driving targeted traffic to that site and much more. Without the proper management of your time it is easy for any individual to fall behind.

Loss of organization. Poor time manage management can often lead one into major organization problems, Being unorganized can cause you to lose track of what is that you should be doing at a particular time, or place, also loss of valuable and important information pertaining to your business. Wasting valuable time because you have to figure out what you did or didn’t do. Where you left off or where to start. This can be avoided by having a simple daily list of thing you want to do, this is a way to begin to keep track of what you have done and what you need to do.

Becoming overwhelmed. Another negative effect of not managing your time is the ability to become overwhelmed with the many tasks that must be done to operate your internet business. Operating a successful online business has many aspects and can take a lot of time. If you end up spending to much of that time on only one aspect of your business… say, your website graphics, or getting it perfect in your eyes, then you may run into the problem of neglecting other necessary task involved with your businesses success, like getting targeted traffic to that website, or optimizing that website to ensure top page rankings in the search engines. This approach can lead to you finding yourself overwhelmed with a lot of task not implemented or finished.

Playing the catch up game. Now that you have fallen behind, no organization, and having become overwhelmed, you can find yourself in the awkward position of attempting to play the “catch up game”, trying hard to get yourself back in a position where you are in control of what your next task will be, also when and how it will be completed. Playing this catch up game can move a individual to a point where they may even want to give up on their project. My advice to you is to take a little time to think it over, relax, and come up with a workable plan. Giving up will only lead to failure.

Loss of focus. Losing your focus and becoming vulnerable to distractions is another symptom of poor time management. Managing your time correctly should ensure that you have your workday scheduled out. Distractions are bound to pop up during the work day, how you handle them is what is crucial. Keeping focus on those tasks that you have scheduled out for your work day will help you resist the urges to fall prey to any distraction that may surface.

Because most internet marketers start their businesses from home it is easy for many distractions to pop up. I found it a very good idea to make sure that individuals in my life know when my work hours are and that during this time I do not want to be disturbed unless necessary. This works well because these are people pulling for your success also. Limit phone calls to business calls during your work hours. The important thing is you need to get the distraction time under control and to a minimum.

Loss of potential income. Now we come to the bottom line, that is that “time is money” especially when you are in your own internet marketing business. If you are wasting time and not getting the needed tasks done to promote your business the right way, you will not make money. Improper time management can lead to loss of income and eventual internet business failure.
