Beth Dichter's insight:
Are you looking for ways to learn online this year? Check out this post which provides 13 possibilities for you to explore. A few of them are: * Get inspired by great speeches - listen to speeches from turning points in history, movies and more! * Directory of open access journals - do you need to research a topic? Check out journals that provide free access. * Publish your own graphic novel - Use Comic Master to write a graphic novel (or perhaps, have students in your class use it). * Explore maps - new and old. With GPS we may neglect maps, yet maps are an amazing tool. Learn about geograpgy, culture, history and more as you explore old maps (and new) at a variety of websites. Nine additional links await you when you click through to this post!

"As children, young children, everything meant playing and art. We saw the world as a playground and a canvass. It didn’t matter whether or not we could actually draw. What mattered was the thrill of creating something beautiful. We were all artists. We still are."

The list of resources includes links for all five letters and chances are you will find a few that you may not have checked out. Below are five of the resources listed...but click through to see the rest, and all are hot linked in the post. (Most tools listed are free but a few have costs.)
