Happy New Year! One of my commitments for this year is to continue to provide free resources to educators to help you engage and empower learners. To that end, you can find a new Wakelet collection for January holidays and winter here. It includes some links from the December collection, new ones that I’ve discovered, and some links shared by Donna Lasher on her wonderful site. There is also a link to a Martin Luther King Jr. collection, as we celebrate that holiday in the U.S. this year on January 17th.
I am trying to make my collections more global, so please let me know of any major January holidays that I should include other than the typical U.S. ones. When I do a Google search, it is difficult for me to distinguish what may be truly meaningful dates in other cultures from ones like National Peanut Butter Day (January 24th if you are interested). Not that National Peanut Butter Day isn’t important, but it’s not without its controversies…
