Sixth Edition of Carnival of Educators, Carnival Love

Welcome to the December 1, 2009 edition of carnival of educators. This is the 6th edition, and I have to admit to still trying to be able to get the ball rolling. With that I think it is time to reset some rules. If you are going to submit an entry to the carnival, you also need to promote the carnival on your blog or all of our work is in vain. If you continue to submit posts, but never promote the carnival, you will not be included in future carnivals. On a more fun front... we are still looking for volunteers to host carnivals. To date, I only have two volunteers. So, Let's spread some carnival love.

~Parents are the first teachers and thanks to homeschooling, they can also be the main teacher.  For that reason, I would like to spread some parent love:

Rachel Lynette presents Get Your Students to Talk about School | Minds in Bloom posted at Minds in Bloom.


~Then there are teachers who bend over backwards for our kids simply trying to teach.  Too often then end up frustrated. Here's some love for the teachers.

~For this homeschool educator, I am a technology-in-education maniac.  Here's some Technology love:
