Well, my revamped web site is back on line, and I might as well post about it, since I want people to contribute. If this OP is way out of line, please let me know.
It's called Hunting the Snark (http://huntingthesnark.com), and it's a wiki for developing and learning critical thinking skills. There are (at this point, just one, but the second set, about Venn Diagrams, is on my desk) lessons, book reviews, links, and a dictionary of terms. And it's all, completely, mostly, unfinished. I want to gear this to all ages, but especially concentrate on children and ideas for helping them develop reasoning skills. But I have found out I'm a poor teacher, but a good organizer. So I've laid the organization down for the public to use and to contribute to.
I've quite long-term plans for the site, and I'm hoping some folks might want to contribute a definition, essay, or book review to the stuff that's already there. On the day you throw up your hands in dispair and say, "Why doesn't anyone tell them why it's wrong?", well, here is a place to go to and type out your frustration, and try to enlighten the world just an itsy bit more.
