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!

York City and the Revolutionary War – “15 Historic Sites of the
Revolutionary War You Need to Visit in NYC”
(L:G;SA:A)
Map Treasure Hunt – “Provide
as many questions (clues) and answers (locations) as you like to create a
virutal 'treasure hunt'. When you are finished you can save the game and share
it with others. Players have to use each clue to collect the 'coins' that
appear in each of your secret locations.” (L:T;SA:A)
Museum of Obsolete Objects
– videos of obsolete objects (interesting how many are things I’ve used in the
past!) (L:G;SA:A)
The Economics of Seinfeld – “It is
the simplicity of Seinfeld that makes it so appropriate for use in economics
courses. Using these clips (as well as clips from other television shows or
movies) makes economic concepts come alive, making them more real for students.
Ultimately, students will start seeing economics everywhere – in other TV
shows, in popular music, and most importantly, in their own lives.” (L:H;SA:SS)
Headlines and Heroes –
Library of Congress; “For centuries the stories of famous, infamous, and
everyday people have filled the pages of newspapers while the pages of comic
books are filled with the fantastic stories of superheroes and villains. Both
provide us with a unique look into the past and how people interpreted the
world around them. This blog highlights the amazing stories, both real and
imaginary, that we find in our collections of newspapers and comic books.” (L:G;SA:SS)
