I’d never heard of the “Carnival” concept in weblogging before, but it is apparently an arrangement among a number of webloggers to post articles around a central theme during a month and then one weblogger maintains a list of all of these posts, organized into subthemes. I found out about it after seeing a link to Teaching Carnival II – a Carnival about secondary education teaching.
It’s a very cool idea for pulling together posts on a particular topic, and I found the Teaching Carnivals (I also went back to check the previous one) really great – people are posting some wonderful advice and assignment/activity suggestions. Definitely worth checking out if you teach, or even if you’re taught.
