Yet More Navel Gazing

I'm very tired of the "you're a self-hating woman" stuff from Hill-ocrats.

I disagree with two of Hillary Clinton's policy points:

I disagree with her immigration policy. I believe illegal immigrants deserve a drivers license. I believe illegals having a drivers license would benefit all the drivers on the road!

This is liberal heresey...but I'm not a huge advocate of universal health care, especially the type she's suggesting. Tax credits aren't what's needed...tax credits don't begin to help the out of sight medical costs for the working poor and middle class. And it doesn't address the out of control medicine costs.

On the whole, most of their policies are VERY similar. There isn't a whole lot of issue based differences. So now it comes down to personality, character, and what vision I think each of them has.

Hillary Clinton is part of the problem...the status quo. She's claiming experience through her husband's administration. After that much time in a place I believe you stop being able to see how paradigms can be totally different. She things incremental change is the only way to go because she doesn't see DC as a place of change. I don't like that. The whole 'vote for me or the boogeyman will get you' stuff has been done to death by Dubya. And I'm done with that too.


I also don't like her whole "I have more experience than Obama" shtick. Barak Obama has held elected political office longer than her. Obama didn't have a presidential husband opening the doors for him in the early days of his legislative career.

It comes down to who I think has a vision of America that is going to be better for us all..my children...my children's children. And Hillary doesn't have that in spite of having a vagina just like me.

is a very interesting post on how online, intellectual property can get hijacked...and how some people think that stealing is OK as long as they profit from it.

I'd Rather Be Hated Than Used

So she cried again...waaaaaaa

I hate when women do this.

The day before New Hampshire and the day before Super Tuesday...coincidence? I think not

After years of doing this, I've come across many different websites and I'm interested in sharing (and if you've got some please share) with a detailed description. These are the only posts that I'm going to label so they'll be easier to archive together. I'll discuss what I think the site/resource is good for so it's just not a simple link. Let's try to do this once a week ans see how it goes.

The innaugeral issue will feature webquests and a great place to find them (and make them!). Webquests are, in short, online lesson plans. Instructors can use already existing code (or program their own website) and gather Internet resources about a particular topic.

Here's one I did for a technology in education class about the Chicago Fire:

Debby's Chicago Fire Webquest

They cover every topic imaginable and every level. I've found some great ones about place value, multiplication, Iraq, and the upcoming presidential election.

One of the best sites to find existing webquests is webquest.org A quick google search can bring up more sites.

If you want to *create* your own, I'd look at www.questgarden.com For a small fee, you can have access to their WYSIWYG editor to create your own webquests. There are also more webquests available than are on webgarden.org.

Think of webquests as online lapbooks :)
