Carnival of Educators - Spam Free Edition, January 12, 2010

Carnival of educators

Welcome to the January 12, 2010 edition of carnival of educators.

This blog is a few hours late, but it was important to get it right.  It is called the Spam Free Edition, because it is just that... free from spam.  You will find no 100 best college this, or 50 best books resources from websites remotely related to education that sends in dozens of blog posts per week, each from a different submitter.  No sir-ee.  On this carnival, you will hear from all educators all the time.  Heck, I am not even going to distract you with a cute theme... not this week anyway.  I want to hear what educators have to say, and if you are still reading this... so do you, so let's get started with the Spam Free Edition of the Carnival of Educators!

I am categorizing the entries based on what I believe is the occupation/ viewpoint of the writer.

Can't thank you enough for the spam-free edition. I've been working my way through these posts since you first posted, knowing I wasn't going to end up at a hard sell or advertising site. What a pleasure.
