Weeding through the links that don't work (1 more)
A site needs a good image to pin. Sometimes you come across something you want to pin that has no image and can't be pinned.
Ideas Galore
I don't know what we did before Pinterest. It is a place for you to organize and share all of your internet finds- crafty, educational, shopping, whatever. You "pin" it to a board so you can easily find it again.
Lindsay (1705 KP) rated Zap! I'm A Mind Reader in Books
Feb 15, 2018
This is a funny book. It tell you a story about how Zack became Mind Reader. He was doing an experiment in science class. While he was doing the experiment he did something you should not do when your hands are wet. I do not want to give away how and what happens to him.
This teaches you about science a bit and it also teaches you that you should not do. It is an educational and great for Children and young readers.

Nice playing pieces
Could be better
I bought this for my son because I used to love playing it when I was younger and he kept asking to play the adult monopoly with us.
However I was disappointed to find out they have simplified the currency far too much. They only use 1s.
If they'd stuck to 1s, 5s, 10s and 20s like I used to have it would have a far more educational side to it.

Easy to understand, explains things very well
Raises awareness about mental illnesses
Interacts with her audience
If you're looking for mental health related content, she's your gal.
Honestly, her and Kati Morton are my top favorite youtubers. Tracey has taught me a tremendous amount of things.
Her videos are pleasant to listen to, she's very descriptive, she explains things well, she treats her audience respectfully, she gives out advice for free by answering questions. That woman is an angel.

David McK (3227 KP) rated Simulating War: Studying conflict through simulation games in Books
Jun 16, 2024 - 12:58 PM
Well, that was something ... different.
This, essentially, is a scholarly thesis on the use of wargaming in an educational setting - like another reader, I found the first part (about the theory) interesting, the second part - containing example games - less so (perhaps because of my lack of real interest in anything beyond WW1 in the air).
Like being forced to study Shakespeare in school, I found this to somewhat suck the fun out of the activity in question.
Still, YMMV, as the saying goes ...

Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Conclave in Books
Jan 13, 2018
I have never experienced a thriller that didn't contain violence and yet...Harris does an amazing job at keeping you wondering if someone has committed the ultimate sin to get what they want. The twists and turns throughout the book kept it interesting, and the attention to detail kept it "educational" for lack of a better word. I had no concept of what goes into a conclave ahead of time and found those details to be interesting enough that one does not get bored by them.

The makeup
The stories within the story
Dustin Hoffman Masterclass
From the period of Hoffman's career when he could do no wrong. His portrayal of a man from youth to extreme old age is riveting. Never dull for a minute and very educational / thought provoking. Has dated some, especially in it's own political subtext, but still something of a little seen classic. If you like Dancing With Wolves and or Mr. Nobody, give it a try!
Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Dogon Initiative (The Deniables #1) in Books
Mar 31, 2019
Exciting and educational
Once again, Lance and James Morcan (a father and son writing team) have not disappointed and have written a book that is not only an exciting read but an educational one too. I had never even heard of the Dogon people before and what I know about astronomy would fit on the back of a postage stamp with plenty of room to spare! I now a little bit more about them both ?
This book is not only well written with a unique backstory and exciting plot but has brilliant characters. It's fast paced, full of action with many scenes of peril and danger that kept me reading well into the night apart from a bit of a lull in the middle which I can overlook given the rest of the book is almost non-stop action. I can see this transferring onto both big and small screens really well and with the right actors, would be a hit and something I would watch.
I can't wait to get to know more about this group of "Deniables" and look forward to what I hope are many more capers, scrapes and close shaves.
