Bookmarks back up

My bookmarks are back up and I've added some new ones. You will find a link to my bookmarks on my home page.

On my bookmarks, try the project ideas folder. I've just added links to some 100 days of school projects, an Excel spreadsheet idea for 5th grade and a mapping activity for 2nd graders. Also, don't forget all the excellent e-manipulatives you can use. You'll find them on each grade level page on my lab home page.
That's all for now!

Been awhile-Bookmarks site is down

Well, I haven't been blogging much because I'm in graduate school and I am posting on discussion boards there quite a bit. I was a big fan of web-based bookmarks because they are so easy to update and you can reach them from anywhere. However, you can only reach them if the site who hosts them is up and running. There is the problem. I have all my bookmarks on Ikeepbookmarks.com. They have been down for the past few days. I am hoping they come back up this week. I have a backup of the sites but it is from September! Also, the backup is not in the same format as the web-based bookmarks and I cannot add to it easily like I can from the bookmark site. If it doesn't come back up by the end of this week, I will find another bookmark site. Until then, I made a temporary link page so everyone can still get to my links. Sorry for the inconvenience. You should find them here: http://www.quia.com/pages/backupbookmarks.html
