Step right up and get yo' tikkit! It is CARNIVAL time!
Welcome to the September 9, 2009 issue of EduCarnival v2, and thank you all so much for stopping by! I am both excited and honored to present this set of posts, and I'm already looking forward to what will be submitted for next week's issue.
Labor Day marks the beginning of the school year in many areas. Some of us are well into the swing of things, and others are just starting back, but either way, the holiday pinpoints one of the most exciting times of the year for many of us.
Jasmin throws down the glove with her response to "Any educator that buys wall maps or globes should be fired" posted at TheInfamousJ, saying, "Recently, Scott of Dangerously Irrelevant posted an image on his educational theory blog that stated "Any educator that buys wall maps or globes should be fired." It claimed that in a world of GIS and Google Earth, the wall map and globe were hurting students instead of helping them. Here's my response to that sentiment." I can just picture a squad of cheerleaders chanting LET'S! GET! FIRED! UP!

The always-delightful Mr. B presents Becoming 3-dimensional posted at Docere Est Discere.

Mrs D. finds out that sometimes a situation that worries you turns out for the best in Part of a Team posted at Footsteps of Aristotle, saying, "Parent-teacher interviews made me realize I'm part of a bigger team."

Thanks mucho, Clix! I'll have fun checking out these links...
It's been too long since I've shared via the Carnival, thank you so much for including my post! I can't wait to click on all of the links, and will certainly link back to your great blog as well.
Michaele
You're welcome! Thanks so much for contributing :D
My first Carnival. Thanks! :)
Thank you for including my post, as always. I will be submitting another one to next week's EduCarnival.
Thank you also for including Sonja Stewart's post. As a teacher who often gets students who were homeschooled, but no longer, I now have some idea where they are coming from.
Thanks for including me! Another great carnival! Thanks also for doing this!
