Larry's blog consists of a lot of great thoughts and resources. He has everything from educational resources about classrooms around the world to nutritional value of the food we eat today. His blog Helping Students Make A Connection Between What They're Learning In School To Their Goals In Life explains his teaching techniques. He gives his students three sheets of paper to fill out. One sheet asks the students to list everything they had learned and how they had learned it in the prior week. The second sheet asked the students to write down their life goals, hobbies, ext. The third sheet then asked the students to use the last two sheets to explain how the things they have learned can help them complete their life goals and how they can be used in life. To me, this is a great exercise. I know when I was a kid in school I always complained that everything I learned in school would be useless to my everyday life when I grew up. Knowing that, I hardly paid attention to much of anything. If the students understand how the things they are learning in school will help them in their everyday life, they are more likely to take an interest and pay attention. Larry's blog is very helpful.

Larry's blog post "Three Infographics of Malaria" contains facts all about Malaria. Everything from who is at risk, how you are at risk, and the statistics of Malaria is covered by Larry. Apparently, over 52% of the worlds population is risk. Every day 1800 children under the age of 5 die of Malaria. Over 90% of all deaths from Malaria occur in Africa.
Larry's blog contains many other facts about Malaria that I will recommend everyone check out. He has an awesome and informative blog. I thanked him for his contributions to education in my comment. If not for his blog and Dr. Strange's assignment, I would not know these new facts about Malaria. I'm sure to keep an eye out for it now.
