I’m going to start a new feature on the Wisconsin DEN blog.  It’s called “Things I Think You Should Read.”  At least weekly, I hope to share news articles or blog posts that I think are interesting.  These might be serious educational issues, a great tech idea, or something a little more on the lighter side.  Regardless, I hope you find this new feature enjoyable.Here are the first “Things I Think You Should Read:”

• DEN Guru and friend of mine, Lee Kolbert, returned to the classroom this year after many years working in a district position.  Her latest blog postis a reflection on returning to the classroom.
• Reading Rewards – great site to help track summer reading – check out the site and read how it works.  I see a lot of value here.  This was shared by Shannon Miller via Twitter.
• Read what Brian Crosby and his students are doing.  What a cool project.
• Maybe we need something like this in Wisconsin.  I say Milwaukee or Madison.
• The last day of school finally arrived for Mister Teacher.  Find out what he wrote on one of his student’s autograph papers.

There ya go.  Take a few minutes and check out these 5 links.  I doubt you’ll dislike all of them.
