TECH TIP: The Atlantic's Life Timeline
This is a fun interactive site to explore and bring back some memories. You enter in your date of birth and Atlantic magazine puts together a list of major events from your lifetime. Each return comes with links to stories the Atlantic has done about many of these events. It even ends with a forecast for events yet to come in your lifetime. For me, I have never lived in a world without Sesame Street and we will explore Mars by 2035. Could be a way for students to jump start papers or stories about events that have shaped the world they've grown up in.
Found this tip from Larry Ferlazzo's blog.
BOOK TIP: This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
Wow. A powerful page turner that looks at what can happen in a high school in under an hour. At a school wide assembly, the doors to the auditorium are locked, trapping the student body, including faculty, inside when a lone shooter takes the stage. The novel is told through many viewpoints and gives you insight into how several students deal with the situation. A book that I found hard to turn away from.
