Hello all,
These are some ideas of how I would use some of the resources I research on. Not too sure what to really do about the resources. Well, will try to figure somthing out, but if you guys have any suggestions, do let me know. Thanks! :)

oooh I like your graphic organiser site :) Very useful resource to find ways to teach our kids to process the information they come across. I think very little processing goes on if they are not directed and taught to do so ... using graphic organisers really helps to make the reasoning and process of thought visible to both students themselves and others. I would say this is useful at all levels :)
