I know that we have all been busy. Me too. Over the last month as I brought my class to a close I have been relying on two sites for some ideas on Systems Thinking. The first is Vanessa Timmer's site on ST and Sustainability. She and her sister Dagmar have a truckload of good ideas to share. They also helped out with the ST in our new curriculum.

The other site that might interest some of you is the Global Peace Index. A great conversation starter in class. I have also used it in my Grade 12 English classes. A good way to start the discussion on how statistics are used as well. The site is run by Vision of Humanity and they focus on positive aspects of what makes a peaceful society.

On a side note, here is a site that I have just started to explore. It might be a keeper. It focus on ecoliteracy and has articles that can be used in the classroom.

If these sites prove worthwhile I will move them to the sidebar. Drop me a note if you are finding these useful.
Thanks for the links Larry! Great stuff!
