This weekend, while home icing my herniated disc, I watched my new favourite Christmas movie. It's got a plot, drama and exciting characters. It, is, however, not a fictional story.
Check it out!

Should We Bring Elephants into Our Classroom?
I found yet another cool opportunity on Skype in the Classroom. Scientists in Thailand have offered to share information about the elephants they're studying via Skype with classes all over the world!
There is a big time difference between our countries, and meeting live may be tricky. I'm tyring to come up with ideas of what we could request from Think Elephants and then remembered how much better 29 minds are than 1!
What could we do? Students in NYC meet virtually with scientists (and even got to see the elephants via Skype!) after school in the evenings. They even helped the scientists in Thailand develop experiments to test the elephants' understanding!
Check out Think Elephants website. You can read about the work they've done, their educational programs and what they've learned about how elephants think!
