I’ve just found the coolest way to amuse my curious mind. I stumbled upon Stumble-Upon. Some of you no doubt are already familiar with StumbleUpon and know what a serendipitous find it is. Visit the site and you’re told

StumbleUpon helps you discover great websites.
With a single click of the Stumble button you will
find cool sites matched to your interests.

It’s true. StumbleUpon asks you what you’re interested in, and then when you click on the link in your toolbar you’re in for a wonderful surprise: a site that matches your interests appears. Click ten times and ten different sites appear. I love it. I’ve selected about twelve different interests so that when I click StumbleUpon I’m never bored because I ‘m served such an eclectic mix.

StumbleUpon gave me this site about study skills. It looks very promising and no doubt I’ll be incorporating some of these strategies into my existing study skills package I give my students.

Earlier Todd generously shared an essay writing strategy that works for teaching kids how to write essays. I’m definately going to try it.

I’ve a handout to share that I use to help my students get their thinking organized when they start a new asignment. I’ll post it here. assignment planning sheet Feel free to adapt it for your own purpose. Let me know if it was helpful. Thanks

   Hi Elona. I have tried Stumble Upon a few times. Great app. Btw your link for the Stumble Upon doesn’t work.
