Edubloggs

OK, since I'm not sure how many people saw my tweet (or if the tweet counted toward the assignment requirements), I'm going to take a few moments to wax eloquent about the two edubloggs I've been reading.
The first is the Medieval Material Culture Blog, and it's all about different aspects of Medieval life. Most of the posts are about different museum exhibits, usually in California. However, I figure that even if I can't go to the exhibit, the museum's website aught to have some good material. Also, it reminds me to keep in mind our own local resources such as Ann Arbor's many museums. (Did anybody else check out the kimono exhibit at the Art Museum? - it was soooo cool!) The most recent post is all about scissors and has tons of pictures of different scissors from the Middle Ages/Renaissance; it's cool to see how some are the same as today's and some are oddly different.

The second blog is The History Channel This is Not..., and the blogger tends to talk about the impact of different technologies on teaching - such as whether or not textbooks are still worthwhile. His most recent post is about the possible merits of giving students examples of what not to do. (http://nkogan.wordpress.com/)
Hopefully, some of you - especially the history dorks - will find these interesting.
