St. Louis WizKids - Advisory Council

The primary audience for this web log is the St. Louis WizKids Advisory Council. However, this is a public web log and anyone is welcome to post comments. This web log will include requests for advice and the advice itself with links to resources. Advisory Council members are experienced in the fields of community technology and education. Advisors are located in different parts of the U.S. and some are in St. Louis. The purpose of the Advisory Council is to bring the best thinking to this project to support the students' success.

State of the Black Union | JigZone: Jigsaw Puzzles Online

Two very different topics:

The State of the Black Union 2004 is a two-part conversation with a broad cross-section of Black leadership from around the United States. This year's focus was on the Black Family. These fora are usally led by Tom Joyner and Tavis Smiley who team up on this and the Tom Joyner Morning Show and other projects included on BlackAmericaWeb.Com. The Tom Joyner Morning Show leads me to think it might be worth checking it out for possible support, recognition for someone in the STL community or families, and definitely for the political perspectives, humor, news, and activism. The State of the Black Union is available on C-SPAN.

The JigZone: Jigsaw Puzzles Online is a place to get free online puzzles in a number of sizes. I tried it at the site of Claudine Hellmuth, a collage artist I like. She used her own artwork but there are photos to choose from. I don't know how often she changes her puzzle. Adults: stay away from the puzzles; it could be like solitaire!
