Teaching Carnival Blogging is all about the content and the connections between individual bits of content. To promote that connection around a particular topic, many bloggers host "carnivals" and ask other bloggers to submit their links to their own or others' posts related to that topic. There's a science carnival called the Tangled Bank, which Michelle Francl has participated in. It's hosted at different places, but the main site points to its various locations.

A blogger I've been reading for a while has started a Teaching Carnival, collecting posts around the web and across disciplines on the subject of teaching. The first one covers all the various aspects of getting started: creating syllabi, freshman orientation, how to establish authority in the classroom, teaching online, and more. I've already found a great resource as I venture into my own teaching this semester. ¶ 11:42 AM, posted by Laura
