This post is kind of an aside... First, I'll list some cool educational resources I've found (again) since cleaning out my e-mail. Second, I'll post some random stuff I've been reading lately. I suppose in this way, I'm using Blogger as a bit of a surrogate for Facebook. (Where else can I post this stuff??)
Educational resources:
1.) Education World
2.) Middle Web, for middle school teachers
This is The Hunger Site, which links to other good causes, too! Each click from a different computer provides donations to various causes (e.g., hunger, breast cancer research, animals, U.S. veterans, autism, literacy, rainforest, and others). It also has a store of ethically-produced items, and most proceeds go to these causes as well!! I highly recommend checking it out! :)
Next, I found this from a friend in a really, really old e-mail... It's about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Don't know FSM? Read up on him here or here!) :)
Tee hee. The website, if you're interested, is here. :)
Next, my good friend, Erika, sent me this crazy link about North Korea... from an American who visited the Hermit State:
The article/blog post, which was hilariously written (and somewhat tongue-in-cheek at times), is here.
And, of course, my shameless plug for the *other* love of my life, Jeremy Scahill:
Finally, since I was perusing The Nation, I found this article and am (again) saddened by what lawmakers in my home state of Ohio are trying to do.
Educational resources:
1.) Education World
2.) Middle Web, for middle school teachers
3.) Fred Jones, for classroom management resources
And now for something (not completely) different...
First, this is a site I've visited for years. I've introduced students to it at various schools, and am kicking myself that I haven't yet shown my students *here*!! Tomorrow, in my current events/documentary club, I will definitely show the kids this wonderful place:

Finally, since I was perusing The Nation, I found this article and am (again) saddened by what lawmakers in my home state of Ohio are trying to do.
If this bill passes (and isn't quickly repealed), I doubt I'll want to live in Ohio ever again. If you'd like to read this article, you may find it here.
That's it for now, kids. Time to catch up on another favorite show: "The Newsroom"! :)
