Here are some interesting sites that I’ve
found this week, thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to
date concerning research in our field and current issues in the education
system. I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking
questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Declaration of Independence that combines a high-resolution

Trumbull's 1819 painting of the signing of the document,
and (3) an interactive map that plots the signers' hometowns on a Mapbox base layer.” (L:G; SA:SS)
