Too early for Mardi Gras!
Not in the worlds of education, and history, and archaeology, and . . .
Catch up with these Carnivals of Education:
- 154th Carnival of Education at Eduwonkette — This is a lengthy carnival these days; there is a lot going on in education on almost all fronts. Econ teachers will want to note especially the post from Money Blue Book slamming MTV’s “My Sweet Sixteen.” Texas teachers can do something with that for the state’s new requirement on teaching financial literacy.
- The Bathtub also recommends a soak in the 153rd Carnival of Education at the Columbus Education Association, for many of the same reasons. We’ve been educating (we hope), and preparing for a new semester, and hadn’t gotten to the 153rd Carnival yet.
- Also see the Carnival of Homeschooling #105, at Why Homeschool.
Short and maybe better for it, Carnival of the Liberals:
- Blue Gal hosts the 56th ambling of the liberal dons; Blue Gal can be occasionally blue, but this post is probably safe for work; the graphic shows no flesh.
Expand your reading and thinking:
- Tangled Up in Blue Guy hosts the current Carnival of the Godless. I don’t usually note this carnival, partly because evangelizing atheism is not my goal; but that’s not the goal of the carnival, either. TUIB Guy is an occasional reader and commenter here; his hosting job takes an interesting view of carnival hosting. Carnival of the Godless frequently features informative and useful posts. In this one, especially if you are involved in science education, or you know a Ron Paul supporter, you should read this post, from the Atheist Ethicist.
Great material for the classroom:
- Four Stone Hearth constantly provides material that I wish I had used the last time I taught that particular topic. Four Stone Hearth #32 at Testimony of the Spade features several posts on neolithic children. This material probably would resonate well with elementary and middle school student. This is a roadmap to how you can make the section on Native Americans and early migration to America come alive for younger students.
- Four Stone Hearth #31 at Walking the Berkshires
- Festival of the Trees #19, at Hoarded Ordinaries; see especially this post from American Presidents Blog on Presidential Trees.
