Google Earth, IB Notes, Catalysts and Connections, and Plagiarism from Wikipedia

Catalysts and Connections, a blog and website about music education, the subtitle is "Expanding Dialougue in Music Education. Looks interesting. An example of the posts is "online instrumental mentors".

The IB Notes site is a usefull collection of websites and resources for teachers and students in IB courses. In the new section the Savita Paul and Chem site has a lot of review material as well as topic notes for IB Chem students.
