I like to skim entries on reddit.com. There is a huge variety, a nice cross section of the internet. Here are a few I came across today:
Guardian Unlimited has a good article on Project Gutenberg: great literature for free. A few times we've referenced Project Gutenberg. If you haven't heard of Project Gutenberg, or haven't checked them out for awhile, now is a good time to see what they've been up to.
Bruce Schneier challenges the conventional wisdom in Talking to Strangers. His main point is that telling children to "never talk to strangers" puts them at greater risk. For example "Brennan Hawkins, the 11-year-old boy who was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days" avoided strangers, making it harder for him to be found. I'll have to talk with my daughters and see what they would do in a similar situation. Bruce reminds us that in general "good guys are common and bad guys are rare."
Here are some good thoughts about Teaching Preschoolers About Money.
