Links You’ll Love – 5-11-122
Everybody who writes (that’s pretty much all of us…) can benefit from this awesome lists of websites.
If you’ve ever wanted to have your students peruse a selection of websites that you predetermine, check out Jog the Web. It’s also a great way to organize websites for yourself. There’s a nice tutorial here.
I know you know how much I love TED talks… The AVI CHAI Foundation has launched a Jewish version – ELI Talks. There are only a few right now, but more are coming.
WWGS (What would George say?). George Washington vowed that America would give “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance…” Washington’s iconic letter avowing religious tolerance will be displayed in a special exhibit at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia opening in June. There’s a nice article in The Forward at about the letter and how it was acquired by the museum.
