Well, my site actually heads in a different direction:

http://podblack.com/?page_id=330

Skepticism and Education; Skepticism and Gender; Skepticism and Communication are the headings I use to break up my ‘top posts’ that continually get hits or are resources in themselves. There’s a book list, parent/teacher education ideas, a scam-watch database…

Which includes the activism and a broad range of topics that we can apply skepticism to. Especially when making it appealing to the younger years.

Although my main interest is superstition, I usually tap into current research on literacy, in order to see how teaching can help with not only critical thinking skills, but improving a love of reading.

A lot of this is parent/teacher centered, as you can see by the first few posts on that ‘essays’ page, but I hope it’s of use to others.

Great post. I cannot count the number of sites I’ve taken off my feed reader because they just stayed on the same old topics, mocked the credulous, or used their skepticism as a bludgeon.

Critical thinking is about daily life, and bigfoot and UFOs don’t figure too prominently in my daily life.

Keep up the good fight!

I realize that is just a sample list, but I think the Center for Inquiry can't be left out. They sponsor a lot of activism, scepticism and basically all of what you just talked about. They even launched Edger for campus secularists to blog on. Great post though and I full-heartedly support your suggestions. This is especially pertinent as Canada and the USA are now facing key elections.
