Last week's episode of Thinking Aloud exposed the novel idea of using the classroom tool of Teddy Diaries as a sociological resource. Teddy Diaries are where young children take a class teddy bear home and write a diary entry with their families, then return the teddy bear to class, and the next child brings the teddy bear home, and so on. Sociologist Randi Waerdahl is pouring over Teddy Diaries to take a peek into how families want present themselves to the rest of the class or to the outside, and she's comparing them from different communities around the world.
