Teaching College Math » Blog Archive » Mathfaery: Elizabeth Hamman
For those who knew @mathfaery - you may want to go to this blog and contribute to the fund in her memory. What a horrible Loss.
Here are the details:
"Elizabeth Hamman was a great math educator who will be truly missed in the International math community. She passed away very suddenly last week, at the age of 40, after suddenly developing a problem with blood clots in her lungs, which led to a bleed in her brain. Elizabeth started writing a blog last year, called Mathfaery: Making Math Magical and was known as @mathfaery on twitter." -

Free Online Adventure Games | The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks Virtual World
A new virtual world for kids that is receiving lots of positive reviews. This is the information from the founder:
"Wiglington and Wenks is the only virtual world which allows kids to travel and explore locations around the world probably currently the most massive virtual world for kids, with more than 200 virtual world scenes scheduled to launch by the end of 2010 "
