Learn Something New Everyday.....what a novel idea!

Today's site is one I learned about through a blog I follow maintained by Anne Marie Corrieri.  She posts some great sites and activities that you can use with your interactive whiteboard at the elementary level in her blog, Talking SMART Boards and Much More. *shout out!*

Anyway, this particular site, Learn Something New Everyday, posts daily facts that can be used at any level of Education.  The site is maintained in the UK, so I have found some of the language to be a bit different, but the main point is still obvious.  Whether or not all of them are true is another question, but they offer up a fascinating bit of info that might be shared as part of a morning routine, or some other motivating technique. And hey, if your students feel that the fact is false, encourage them to research it!  Nothing wrong with inspiring a trip to the library, right? ;)

Oh, and I forgot to mention that if you really like one of the facts, you can order it on a t shirt, hoodie, or canvas bag!
