SUMMER STUDY POSTS

Lately, there seems to be a surge of new thought on Internet threads. This comes at a time when my own teaching/learning sphere is filled to the brim with activity.  Hence I'll begin a new thread of thoughts to consider.  Like a fine box of chocolates you hide away to relish now and then, I'll keep this list of great posts to relish and study when time permits. I'll refine the list as I go along.

Note, this is a messy list, but an important list.
