New Gadgets

I added two gadgets today.  The first is a link to my twitter account I just set up.  The twitter account I have set up is all about “this day in history.” It’s one my major interests related to history- checking to see what has happened on the current day in the past.  Using multiple sources, I am going to attempt to report every day about at least one historical event, birth, death, etc. that has happened in the past using only 140 characters or less (or whatever the amount is, it’s my first day on Twitter).  This concept is something I have always planned on using to decorate my future class room but haven’t quite figured out an efficient way of doing yet aside from just writing it up on the white board (suggestions welcome).

The second gadget is daily quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  I figured because I have an Abe Lincoln themed blog, it would be appropriate to include this gadget because they both did so much for African-American civil rights and it would be interesting and beneficial to help spread the love and wisdom of Dr. King.
