One of my colleagues, David Mathwin, writes a regular blog at http://astickinthemud.com. He talks about his history classroom, but also wanders farther afield. Have a glance at:

Steve Gadd Plays Drums With His Neck

and

A.J. Toynbee: Hannibal's Legacy in Two Volumes

I've found his writing entertaining and thought provoking, and I'd encourage y'all to drop by his blog, read about his classroom, and leave comments, challenges, and thoughts!
