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!

The
Irish Myth of the Giant’s Causeway – A TED-ed lesson’ “On the coast of
Northern Ireland, a vast plateau of basalt slabs and columns called the Giant’s
Causeway stretches into the ocean. The scientific explanation for this is that
it’s the result of molten lava contracting and fracturing as it cooled in the wake
of a volcanic eruption. But an ancient Irish myth has a different accounting.
Iseult Gillespie recounts the Giant's Causeway myth.” (L:G;SA: S)
