To all teachers you are not alone.

Welcome all educators, parents, or people that care. You are not alone. To often we allow the four walls that surround us to feel like a prison. The only way to knock those walls down is to talk.

Peridical Databases

The internet is a enormous creature of power. Words can not express how big it is, and the power it posseses. I say this because the information the web is a buffet of knowledge. Children left unwatched will eat and eat and make themselves sick. Periodical Databases really are a tool most children, and adults are unaware of. To make sure what we are looking at is accurate (healthy) is so, so important. We have an obligation to make sure our children know that as great as the internet is when we are seeking information its not a trough of info, we can't just eat whats in front of us like pigs. We have to choose and explore and know where the info is coming from. These databases are largely accurate and based on well researched studies. We as teacher's need to bring them out of the dark. They aren't just importance but in some cases crucial to making sure we are giving our children information that isn't flat out lies.
