OK - this is just the coolest site - a collection of essays by authors about how they came up with their big ideas... mostly science and sicence fiction - no wonder as the blog author is a Creative Consultant on Stargate Universe.

This is an amazing assignment! "One of our grade 7 Humanities teachers, Dan McWilliam, just finished a project with his grade 7 students. In order to understand the concept of perspective in historical accounts, Dan had his students re-write a 'picture book' on colonialization from an alternate perspective."

We want to help book lovers choose which books to read. We want to help students understand which works were the most influential for specific figures as well as for generations as a whole. We want to help parents buy their children the same books that touched the lives of important people in the past. We want to provide young people with one more role-modeling tool, so that they can imitate, through reading, the famous people they most love.

Here are websites that feature virtual learning experiences, exposing online visitors to everything from history to geography, astronomy to anatomy, literature to government.

But Hope got involved in a dangerous, all-too-typical teen game. In June, at the end of her seventh-grade year at Beth Shields Middle School, she sent a picture of her exposed breasts to a boy she liked. This post deals with the tragic consequences of the actions taken by peers, parents and the school
