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!

George Zaidan examines triglycerides, the varied molecules that make up fat, and how to identify which types of fat you are consuming.” (L:M,H; SA:S)
