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!

science of stage fright (and how to overcome it
– “Heart racing, palms
sweating, labored breathing? No, you’re not having a heart attack -- it’s stage
fright! If speaking in public makes you feel like you're fighting for your
life, you're not alone. But the better you understand your body's reaction, the
more likely you are to overcome it. Mikael Cho advises how to trick your brain
and steal the show.” (L:G;SA:A)
