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!

Plastics 101
– from National Geographic; “Once a completely natural product, much of today's
plastic is man-made and largely dependent upon fossil fuels. From polymers to
nurdles, learn how plastic is created and what we can do to slow the lasting repercussions
this material will have on both our planet and our lives.” (L:G;SA:S)
Random
Name Picker – from ClassTools; edit and add your own names (L:G;SA:A)
Measuring Worth
–“It can be more difficult when the question is to determine the
"historical" worth of something. The price, even deflated for
inflation, is not enough. Was Andrew Carnegie richer than Bill Gates? Did Babe
Ruth make more than LeBron James? Was the cost of a loaf of bread more then
than now? These questions all depend on the context and the comparators on this
web site enable users to make their own comparisons. We discuss these issues
more in the essay Measures of Worth, which provides a methodology for
deciding which measure of worth is appropriate for the subject at hand.” (L:H;SA:M,H)
