The main points in this article are the settlements, population sources, the relationships with Native Americans, government, religion, and economy and population growth for the English, French and Spanish Colonies. The purpose of this article is to show the similarities and differences between the English, French and Spanish Colonists during the founding of the New World. There are many topics covered in this article, however the most important topic is the colonists and how they are different even though they came from the same continent: Europe. This articles is a comparison of the three colonists groups and which group would be the best suited to colonize the New World. This is a very useful source to use as notes or to help you debate a certain side, because it shows you the group's strong points as well as the drawbacks. Other sources that I have used only talk about on group of colonists and you really have to dig for answers, whereas this site is organized in a chart and all the information is right in front of you. This was very useful for my U.S. History class because this website showed the different groups of European colonists and their strengths and weaknesses.

This website had some helpful tips on how to be a good facilitator of a group discussion. There were a few things I found particularly helpful. I liked what the article said about being the "pacemaker" of the meeting. This would entail making sure that the group was moving through the bullet points of the discussion at an appropriate rate. I also thought that the advice to critique the plausibility of an idea was helpful. Many times during my discussions with the Music Department officers I've run into these issues. The article gave advice on how to deal with problematic situations when in a group discussion. Overall, it was a very informative article.

This is a site to make-your-own jeopardy games. I have used it to make review materials for the Brain Bee club I am in when I am leader of the day. It does not provide information, but if you write the questions and answers it will format your information into an interactive game that can record points for any number of teams. This site is a little different from others in that it is not necessarily reliable or unreliable because that depends on the information you put in it. It is not a source of information, but a way for you to communicate information you already have. I have found this simple site to be very helpful. I imagined myself doing a boring powerpoint when I was leader of the day, but this site gave me another option. It made sharing my expertise an activity that could involve the whole group in a fun way.

This is an extremely helpful site! It gives you the information that you need for the periodic table, such as the atomic numbers and groupings, but it also is an interactive table! If you click on the element you will be given an in depth description about the element and it will even tell you all of the groups it is in as well as different classifications. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is interested in chemistry and wants to learn about the different elements.

This is a video about the terror threat that took place during the 2014 Olympics. It's shows how unstable the government is over there and how the Russian government tries to cover up bombings and other acts of terror.

I wonder where this Islamist group is now with the Ukrainian crisis.

This article discusses whether Shakespeare's works should be enjoyed on stage or enjoyed through reading. What do you think - to be read or watched?

This website included 25 tips on how to run a successful fundraiser in a school. Considering the Music Department hosts many fundraisers each year I decided that these tips could help me to evaluate what we are doing right and what changes we could make to become more successful. One idea I appreciated was to avoid doing the "small" fundraisers. While I had thought that any amount of money would be helpful, this site pointed out that parents and students begin to suffer from "fundraising fatigue" when they are asked to participate in multiple events. Also, although we have the same fundraisers every year, we are very bad about letting parents know at the beginning of the year the different fundraisers we will need help with. This website suggests to let parents and students know as soon as possible what the group will need their participation in. I thought this was a helpful website in because they presented their information in an eye-catching and a simply put way. Also, they would give a bullet point of helpful information, and then divulge further to explain their reasoning.

This website gives insight into how to select music for a concert band. This week, I was asked to pick out some music for our band to play in the Winter Concert and I found it rather difficult. I decided that this would be an important subject for me to research. Its most important suggestion is to be realistic of your expectations of your band. It said not to choose pieces that range in pitches that you have not heard your group successfully reach. It also said to to be sure to balance what your students want to play with what they should play.

Great group teaching all sorts of things on how to work on cars

This article is about how the Taliban is, once again, attacking government buildings in Afghanistan like they do every spring when the weather warms up in the mountains. The reason they do this every spring is to try and regain control of the government of Afghanistan. It is my understanding that their motive is to control the global opium market and ultimate wealth. I believe this is reliable information because it is on the CNN website and they have a good reputation for accurate news. I have learned that the Taliban is very persistent and violent. I can't imagine living in a country where a violent terrorist group is trying to overthrow the government every spring. I feel that must be an unsafe place to live, work, and try and raise a family, and am glad I live in the U.S.

This site is great if you want to stay updated on all of the environmental projects that Vermont is taking on as a state. I used this site a lot for my climate change class because it helps me stay up to date on all of the environmental issues in VT.
