Wasted Time

I was planning on working on going through some of the "Things" this past weekend, when our Internet went out. Kaput, nothing, blah!! We that worked out as well as a lead balloon. The most frustrating thing was that my husband was out of town over the weekend and when he got back today, he was able to fix it!!! Oh well.

Reading

I read the article from "Thing 1", Truth: Can You Handle It and I agree and disagree with some of the points. One thing was that the author believed that Wikipedia was bad. Although later in the article they compared Wikipedia to the Encyclopedia Bratanica and found it was nearly as reliable. I really think it is a great starting point students. Especially when they do not have the research skills needed to find more reliable sources. Also for a middle schooler it can be very hard to muddle through a scientific article.
