Nothing says "Happy Thanksgiving" like Freaky Institutional Home Ec Instruction and a Romantic Piano Score

It just wouldn't be a 'Paperless Thanksgiving' without this MPEG archived diamond of a 1951 instructional film about childrens' ettiquette at the dinner table.

Hope you all use cloth napkins!

Thanks to the Internet Archive for this gem.

Buzz Paperless

TeachPaperless was noted as a Twitterer worth ReTweeting by Education Week's Digital Education blog. Also in Ed Week: "Shelly Blake-Plock has had some really intriguing posts already this year and I'm already behind. Considering he published 639 entries on his TeachPaperless blog in 2009 it's going to be hard to keep up, but well worth the try."

“When I originally contacted Shelley last week to inquire as to whether or not he would be willing to talk to my staff, he jumped right in, and he didn’t disappoint. What impressed me most about him as I listened to him describe his practice was his clear vision of what it meant for his students to function in a classroom that he designed: it was about them learning. He truly designed the environment with their learning–their unbridled learning–in mind. His decision was not a secretarial one, but rather came from a desire to push students to take control of information gathering, processing, and creating.” – Chalkdust 101
Shelly's @TeachPaperless feed was named as one of the 'Twitters to Follow' by the Lincoln Center Institute.

Shelly was awarded a press pass to NECC 2009 from ISTE for his post:What Does Internet Blocking Suggest to Students?

Shelly was named a 'Featured Author' for his TeachPaperless comic series at Pixton. com.
