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!

are. If you were not born in the country you were, what would your life be
like? Would you be the same person? IfItWereMyHome.com is your gateway to
understanding life outside your home. Use our country comparison tool to
compare living conditions in your own country to those of another. Start by selecting a region to compare on the

housed in the libraries, museums, and archives of our nation’s parks, historic
sites, and other protected areas. More than 20 national parks and other

state park systems and 3 university libraries. The Open Parks Network provides
