My Google Site

I am a parapro for a boy who has behavioral issues. I learned of a system called 1 2 3 Magic from special education teachers I work with. Behavior management is always a big issue in education and I thought I can spread the word about 1 2 3 Magic to teachers who never heard of it.

The site is http://sites.google.com/site/behaviormanagement123magic/Home . The first page is introducing the system and shows the picture of the book. I chose that picture because it was appropriate and made the most sense to show what the book looked like. Below the picture are links to Amazon to buy the book as well as the video. Other websites that talk about 1 2 3 Magic are also there for more reference. The first page also has a clock gadget. I chose that simply because I thought it would be neat and those looking at the site would know what time it was without looking at another clock.

The second page tells how 1 2 3 Magic works. It also provides tips on using it. There is an image of a little girl on there. I chose that because I wanted an image of a child since the system is for kids ages 2-12. I thought a pictre of a kid would best support my page. I also have a dictionary gadget at the bottom of the page. I thought something educational would be good since this is an educational website. Using an online dictionary right there would be very convinent adn be educational. There is also a link to my blog for comments or questions.

I'm always interested in behavioral "techniques" for use in behavior management and modification, as well as behavioral "pinpointing." As such, I could see how others with such interests could use your site as a reference point, to get started on the path toward researching the types of "behavioral" programs that are "out there." Having studied behavior analysis for several years, along with behavioral pinpointing, etc., I think sites like yours could be interesting as a tool for the general population to gain increased awareness about such methods.

Joy,

I have always believed that teaching discipline to children starts in the home from the time they are born. Disciplined children usually don't have a hard time with discipline at school. For those children who need behavior management, I think the 123 Magic will work. I liked your google gadgets, they were placed appropriately within your website. Nice Job.
