By all means, link to it. And the "rule" for blogging is to link freely to whatever appeals to you. Welcome to the read/write web.

How would you feel about adding a link to your blog on my blog(http://amykenyon.edublogs.org)? As I am new to the blogging world, I don't know if it is required that I ask permission but I think it is polite. What do you think? Amy Doug-

Inquiring is not so neat and orderly. I'm thinking that inquiry can be taught as a function of language, focusing on how we form abstractions. Most of the literature frames inquiry in terms of project based learning. But I wonder if that's the best way to teach it. Standardizing is good for comparing, which is good for ranking.
