Brain-Based Blogs & Websites

ACO Conference Binder 2012 -
Blog expanded Speaker Content
Madelyn Griffith-Haynie – Part 4b”The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
~ Alan Kay“I worry that our lives are like soap operas.
We can go on for months and not tune in to them,
then six months later we look in and the same stuff is still going on.”
~ Jane Wagner – The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe
(Lily Tomlin‘s one-woman show)AS I INDICATED on The Brain-based BOOK list, I have been distracted from compiling EACH of the Brain-based Resouce Lists so many times, that looking for all of their pieces has become an Easter Egg hunt!
So here’s a great start, with my apologies to all of the wonderful brain-based blogs and websites that didn’t make it to THIS version.
Even though “quick” changes are possible after post, I have a VERY full plate, so even a teensy-tiny edit or addition could take longer than you’d like – please don’t personalize.
Try to remember that, as The ADD Poster Girl, make-wrong shuts me down too, and admin is NOT my thing! We all have to be willing to take a few dropped admin balls as par for my course. (HOWEVER, if you would like to gift me a full-time admin-assist, let’s talk!)
The way it stands NOW, as far as I’m concerned I deserve gold stars for staying tracked to get this done in any manner what-so-ever!
Parodying an oft-quoted sentiment:
Nobody ever said, when they were about to die,
“DARN, I wish I’d made more time for administrative detail!”
Blogs and Websites
Since my students will be printing this document to file with their course materials, with *rare exceptions*,
web addresses are not “active” — i.e., not hyperlinks – they don’t “click.” Like ALL active links here on
ADDandSoMuchMore.com, links below are dark charcoal (to minimize distraction potential as you read)
– active links turn red only on mouseover).
OTHERWISE:
Copy & paste address into “address box” of a new tab and hit “enter” if you would like to visit the sites
and leave this window easily available to copy the next link (http:// must come first!) -
- OR if you fear you will wander astray and not be patient enough to click your way back
You can also copy a link into the browser window at the top of this page, which will replace this page.
In that case, use your browser’s back button to come back here. [Wanderers: keep clicking back]
Want your link below to click?
Those *rare exceptions* that click are sites that I know have links leading like breadcrumbs to ADDandSoMuchMore.com — what the SEO crowd calls “inbound links.”
In English, that means something like, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.
While I continue to scratch a lot of backs who have never even thought about scratching mine,
my biz coach insists that lack of “link balance” means something to the search engines like Google.Apparently they stick you where the sun don’t shine if you have a lot of outbound links and few links back. (If your link below doesn’t click – you now know what to do, right? Ping me so I’ll know we’re linked — I’ll ping you back so you know you’re “live”)

COMING ATTRACTIONS
I will be posting all of my speakers content from the 2012 ACO Conference - edited and augmented to take advantage of the lack of space constraints and the possibility of adding additional information and illustrations, as well as links for context. (scroll DOWN for a list of what’s live NOW and what’s coming)
I also plan to add more than a few resources that I did NOT have time to share at the conference, content that those of you who stick with the series will LOVE me for sharing
Get it NOW, while its free for the taking.
Leave me feedback (comments, likes or gold stars) and help me spread the word
(or I might just change my mind ::grin::)
As always, if you want notification of new articles in the Brain-based Resources Series – or any new posts on this blog – give your name and email to the nice form on the top of the skinny column to the right. (You only have to do this once, so if you’ve already asked for notification about a prior series, you’re covered for this one too)

I do have a few words – gold stars for you!
Goodie – I LOVE gold stars. If I thought I would actually keep up with it, I’d make myself a star chart (like for a kid!) But I really don’t need more stuff to track, so I am making do with cross-outs in my DayTimer.
xx,
mgh
I make wonderful charts! but it ends there – I usually never look at them again! Good job with the cross-outs.
I think I need a better way to let you know that I read your article when I do not have the time and/or the words to comment!
How about your name only?
