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!Note: Each resource is labeled with a level and subject area to make it easier to use.

Cartoon Prints – Library of Congress; “This assemblage of more than 500 prints made in America during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries encompasses several forms of political art. Most of the prints are from the division's PC/US series, which consists of individually cataloged political cartoons and caricatures.” (L:H; SA:LA, SS)
What is Money – “…business editor Derek Thompson pays a visit to a branch of EagleBank in Arlington, VA, to bother the world's friendliest bank teller with a series of dumb requests. As goofy as it seems, this little experiment is a helpful way to illustrate three essential functions of money: a store of value, a unit of account, and a medium of exchange.” (L:M,H; SA:SS)
Flippity – “where you can easily convert a Google™ Spreadsheet into a set of online flashcards” (L:H;T SA:A)
