Some thoughtful reflections:I look through the list of other blogs (right side of this page, further down) every evening to see if there are any new entries of interest. This process takes about 10 – 20 minutes a night (or early morning, depending on my mood). I have found many articles of interest. Here is a selection of a half a dozen sites that have cropped up in the last day or two that would be useful either for the classroom or for personal enhancement:
Eric Langhorst, whom I referred to in an early blog entry on Getting Students to read Historical Novels, wrote about a Smithsonian Interactive Gettysburg Address in his Speaking of History blog. LINK
The Library of Congress blog announced it had posted a number of Lincoln Pictures on Flickr. LINK
The US History Site Blog provided resources for Black History Month material by telling readers about the Think Infinity website. LINK
The Abraham Lincoln blog pointed us to a Smithsonian Exhibit on Lincoln. LINK
The American Presidents blog shared a NY Times article on Roosevelt (Teddy) winning a law suit for six cents (he was more interested in an apology for being called a drunkard than the money). LINK
The American Presidents blog also shared a Theodore Roosevelt online exhibit at the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum. The exhibit LINK.
All of these blogs are located on the right side of this page. Take some time to visit them, perhaps putting them in you "My Favorites" file. By clicking the title of the blog you are taken to a webpage with all of the blog entries on it. By clicking the article title under the title, you are taken to the specific article. Take some time… learn something new.

Essential question: Are the resources that are being brought to the readers attention worth the time it takes to read the blog?
