The Edge of Education Carnival. Issue 4

Posted by

The-edgeWelcome to the fourth issue of the Edge of Education Carnival, a collection of links to the most innovative teachers using and sharing tips and techniques on the cutting edge of teaching and learning.

Wait a minute.  Okay.  I have to be honest totally with you here.  As you read through the following links, I truly hope you find value.  65 submissions came in this month.  As you can see 14 made the cut.  And I probably could have easily shaved another 9 off, because–really, those last nine aren’t even teachers–I don’t think.  Heck I don’t even know if they’re real people.

Blog Carnivals, I’m learning, are not immune to spam.

I was literally bombarded this month with list-post spam.  But as you can see, I let a number through the filter because I thought that a good teacher–with a little imagination–just might find some of that information useful. I did.

And now, before I get out of the way so you can click around, I’m going to make a shameless plea: If you are a real person . . .better yet, if you are a real teacher (or know one), gosh I’d be honored if you’d consider sharing some of the cool stuff that you do.  Please consider submitting to next month’s Edge of Education Carnival.

Oh, and if you are one of the six or so real people that did submit this month.  THANK YOU!!  So without further ado–enjoy.

  1. Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a enjoyment account it.

    Look complicated to more brought agreeable from you! However, how could we keep in touch?

  2. My brother suggested I might like this website.
    He used to be totally right. This put up truly made my day.
    You cann’t consider simply how so much time I had spent for this info!
    Thanks!

  3. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her
    ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  4. Research indicates that adults need an average of six and
    one-half to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.
    What strikes me as even odder is that my friend who
    lived down the hall was experiencing episodes of so-called sleep
    paralysis during that same time. The growth hormone that is secreted during delta sleep helps you become smarter
    and thinner.
