Am I wrong or right?

In many of the assignments I'm setting you, I link to web pages that inundate you with advertisements.

What's your opinion about receiving these? Does it bother you? Should I find sites that are ad free? Do you never notice the ads?

I assume that you're all too busy tracking down more interesting things than be bothered with ads for teeth and face masks.

But what's your opinion on the online advertising world? Should it intrude on your educational work? Should we study it more closely? Or ignore it altogether?

This blog

This blog is here primarily for three home educated children, Shark, Squirrel and Tiger. They can drop in when they like and find stuff that we're talking about.

That should help Tiger, who wants to know everything.

And part of this blog is just a collection of stuff that flows through my brain and I think, I'll pin that to the wall. Since I don't collect objects, but I sort of collect ideas, references, and pictures I like, I wonder if this space will also become a sort of personal memorabilia museum?

Here is a museum that I would love to visit one day.
