The New York Observer (Free subscription) | 08/13/2008

It’s hard to grasp what mortgage-backed securities are, or why they’re wreaking gruesome havoc on the global economy.

This is where it becomes important to not only...

Using Comic Books to Teach

Cool Cat Teacher Blog (Free subscription) | 06/05/2008

I really enjoyed looking back at this interview with Chris Wilson over at Open Education about the use of comic books to teach . To me, the important point to remember that just about anything can be used to teach, however, when you use something that kids like, you have an edge and it is magnetic. (Cool tools, technology, excited teachers) We should not be opposed to the use of just about any tool...

Eagles Notes: Dan Klecko, Chris Wilson, Hank Baskett, Eagles in Iraq

Bleeding Green Nation (Free subscription) | 05/29/2008

After checking out the minicamps, GCobb doesn't think Dan Klecko can be a full time fullback. I hope the Dan Klecko as a fullback idea is more about saving a roster spot more than anything else. You can't be serious to think that this guy is worth keeping as solely a fullback. He'll be effective as a blocker on short yardage and goalline but you shouldn't use up a roster spot for that. He doesn't...

SEOCentro - SEO News (Free subscription) | 05/12/2008

For once, the (semi-)mainstream media (almost) gets it right. Chris Wilson, editorial assistant at the Washington Post-owned Internet magazine Slate , wrote an article Friday about search engine optimizationand it didn't confuse legitimate SEO with the snake oil salesmen that usually dominate the image of the industry. In fact, Wilson's premise was that SEO helps everyone , and I think we'd all be...
