I stumbled across a website which I’d like to share. As mentioned in a previous post, I believe educators should keep on top of what’s being posted about the events and ideas in the world. Obviously, this can take up much valuable time in an already busy educator’s life. Thus, it’s important to find those quality sites which aggregate solid information.
The Conversation is an excellent site for this. Their masthead states: “The Conversation is a collaboration between editors and academics to provide informed news analysis and commentary that’s free to read and republish.”
I receive their email every morning (along with many other less useful news/info updates) and consistently The Conversation has the most interesting, insightful, topical and useful articles. The diversity of articles that are featured currently include:
A Melting Arctic and Weird Weather: The Plot Thickens
What Historic Megadroughts in the Western US Tell Us About Our Climate Future
How Russia is Building a Psychological Firewall Against the West
Why We Should Get Rid of Tipping (not a favorite article of mine as I work Saturdays in a wine tasting room)
