It’s another Monday. Time for another round of articles I came across in the past week. Take some time, sink into one or two (or all of them), and be challenged!
Link of the Week
Here are some sites that parents, children’s and youth workers should know about. They’re where young people are going after Facebook’s lure fades.

Question: What all goes into interpretation of scientific data?
4. Money: Are you a slave to your kids?
