Thing #6 Hi-lights from my RSS

While skimming a story from the blog, All My Faults are Stress Related (Love that title!), I found a story that grabbed my attention. The American Geological Society has started a program called EarthTrek that will allow laypeople to participate in collecting real data for ongoing research starting this summer. It reminds me of the data collection that students do in Journey North. I love the idea and I get very excited about these type programs but I wonder how many people actually follow through? I've been trying to get some teachers to participate in Journey North for several years and as far as I know, no one has.

I was able to skim through most of the articles in my feed fairly quickly without stopping at too many. I am going to have to winnow the list down. There are way too many to wade through regularly.

  1. I know what you mean about being way too many to read through. I did enjoy what I read and got some ideas for next year. I think it's just going to take time to figure out where I can start. Sorry you couldn't get to the scrapebook site I guess I did something wrong. Try this
