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!

Why
Should You Read MacBeth – “There’s a play so powerful that an old
superstition says its name should never be uttered in a theater. A play that
begins with witchcraft and ends with a bloody, severed head. A play filled with
riddles, prophecies, nightmare visions, and lots of brutal murder. But is it
really all that good? Brendan Pelsue explains why you should read (or revisit)
"Macbeth." (L:H;SA:LA)
Wonderscope –
an iPad app; “magine your favorite book came to life on your floor and asked
you to play a part in the story! Wonderscope is an iOS app for kids that uses
augmented reality to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary stories.
Through your Wonderscope, you can see the story take place all around you,
whether you open the app in your room or outdoors. Read your lines aloud to
engage with and talk to characters, and help them solve problems along the way.”
