I found the most wonderful blog today, via Twitter!
There was so much good stuff on there that I felt like a kid in a candy store! There was a very helpful post about how educators can get Google Earth PRO for FREE – and I’ve already emailed that post to our technology guy in our school district.
I’ll come make this post prettier and the like – I just didn’t want to lose track of this awesome blog!
And I’m so very glad I saw the blog post she tweeted, Virtual Fieldtrips! She’s telling us about a really great site! And it’s called, surprisingly enough, Virtual Field Trips. This site is so totally cool, you guys! You have to go check it out! And I’ve only gone on one ‘field trip’ so far, and I’m already this excited!

Here is a very helpful and informative blog – it’s called Chores & Allowances, and it is written by Dave, who lives in Dallas. (And we all know living in Dallas automatically scores points with me right off the bat!) 
Dave offers all kinds of Parenting help and advice, often leaning on the financial side of things, like teaching our kids about work and financial responsibility.
While Dave does talk a lot about money and finances, he also addresses many other aspects of parenting. And personally, I think just the links he’s gathered in his sidebar are an invaluable resource! That is why his blog is definitely going in my sidebar here at The Bookworm Broadcast!
You will find all kinds of information at Chores & Allowances – from back to school checklists, to protecting families against identity theft, to great websites for kids! And if you know me, you know how much I love worksheets – one of the sections in his sidebar is devoted to just worksheets! Watch out kids, mom found a new list of worksheet sites!
This is definitely a blog that I want to keep up with!
There is this great (and darn funny!) mommy blogger, K8, who is having a whopper of a scrapbooking contest!! She amassed way too much scrapbooking stuff and she has decided to share the wealth with the lovely blogosphere! I think that’s totally awesome! All you have to do to be entered to win is to blog about her contest, or put a pretty graphic in your sidebar like I’ve done! This scrapbooking contest would be so totally awesome to win! I guess you can tell I’m excited about all of these goodies, huh?
And the graphic for the contest is just so darn cute, too!
If you haven’t been to K8′s blog, called Three Wild Monkeys, before – go. Go now. She is so funny – even if you’re not going to enter the contest – go read her stories – she just totally cracks me up! And her kids just could NOT be any cuter!!
GO READ A BOOK!
I was perusing the normal blogs upon my route this morning, when I happened upon a great post called, The Socratic Method, on my friend Cass’ blog. It is a super-cool, get the learners involved method of teaching! The teacher teaches by asking questions, leading the learners where they need to get to understand the concepts. The learners generally end up excited, and impressed with themselves for figuring out the answers. It is a way of learning that, I believe, can cement ideas in people’s brains! It is discovery and learning all at once!
