POPSBlood from a Turnip The city of Milwaukee obviously needs money. If this foreclosure goes through, they can begin to foreclose on may other properties in the same situation. What a way to increase city revenues.

POPSBe a Book Wizard! Embed this widget in your website or blog and anyone can use it to find children's literature by author, keyword or title. Scholastic has used Google gadgets to create an excellent teacher resource, a children's literature search engine. You can find your favorite book or search for titles to help you develop an instructional unit. While most titles are published by Scholastic, they do include other book titles from other publishers. When readers at your blog, wiki, or website use the Teacher Book Wizard Widget, they will be taken away from your site to the Scholastic site. I would like to see this widget open in another tab or window. While this is an inconvenience, it is not a major hindrance.

POPSHelp Is One Tweet Away! This is the most serious use of Twitter that I have ever seen, but there are lifesaving tweets all over the network.

POPSWhat a Difference a Day Makes! It seems that NASA and the European Space Administration did NOT say these new predictions by student are correct. It seems that NASA has already accounted for the orbits of the satellites in their collision calculations, so the 1:45,000 probability stands.

POPSA Spoonful of Sugar Very interesting research that could affect children's and adult's eating habits if they knew about these data.

POPSMac or PC: Can't Decide People are still talking about this; Let's all get along; go opensource w/Linux and use web applications like IBM's new Symphony of office applications. What do you think?

POPSBreathtaking View: Up Close and Personal On Tuesday, December 11, 2007, the three copies of the Magna Carta will be on display in the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. If you live close or can travel this will be the trip of a lifetime. Most times, these documents cannot be seen by the public.

POPSCharter of the Forest: A Sister The Charter of the Forest was negotiated at the same time as the Magna Carta, and further spelled out some rights that belonged even to the common man; for instance, a king did not have the right to kill someone just because they hunted in the King's Forest.

POPSWidgets Work! I would really appreciate your input on widgets. I am evaluating various weather widgets, so I can recommend them for school. I know I can't find all the sites, so I would appreciate any clips on the topic of widgets, especially for websites and blogs. So far, I found Weather Pixies that seems to be a great widget for elementary level.

POPSWhen the Army Fought Against Veterans in Washington Hopefully, we can learn from our recent American History. As Americans we need veterans to be healthy and productive, and as veterans, they deserve whatever assistance we can give them. Yes, I am a Yankee Doodle Dandy! Thanks to my grandfather, WWI; uncle, died on USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor; two uncles in Korea; the rest of us were born in the few off times to be of assistance. So we are support troops.

POPSFantastical, yet REAL Pictures of Earth A critical, yet tiny group helps the internet and all other electromagnetic dependent devices survive, but predicting, following and warning of Space Weather that might cause problems on Earth. Every year, NASA provides exceptionally fine materials to teachers or other interested members of the public who will give presentations on or around Sun-Earth Day. This next year it falls on March 20, 2008.

POPSThe Quality School When I saw Bobby DelRay's clip of the The 7 Habits of Truly Miserable People, I had to clip another of Dr. Glasser's books. This is one of his books that teach practical, yet effective ways to treat yourself and others with respect. His ideas about education and schools have developed a group of schools that follow his philosophies. It's good for learning and for emotional health of children, students, and the entire education community.

POPSBYOD: Bring Your Own Data This free software can take your data sets and put them into various types of graphs. I don't know much about it, but a teaching friend recommended that I look it over.
