The following are some cool selections I found via reddit.com:
A few general items:
Sweden announced that they will be opening a virtual embassy in Second Life. I wonder what the career path is for being an embssador to an online community? And what do they get paid?
Exchange Ingredients has 10 Tips for Better Money Management. This would be a good list to review with your children. They can start applying many of these steps now.
On the education front:
From Britain: Why homework isn't working. This is a long article on how homework for children before high school appears to have no academic benefit. Much of the article focuses on an effort by Alfie Kohn to reduce or eliminate homework from kindegarten to 8th grade.
Uncool:
Also from Britain: Protest over photocopied pupil. The opening line is: "A couple have taken their son out of Adwick Washington Infant School after claiming that a teacher placed his head on a photocopier, right, as part of a school project." There isn't much more information, other than the boy was five. I wonder what the teacher was thinking.
