In going through my backlog of magazines on the nightstand, I found this gem in a recent Skeptic (Volume 16, #2).
It's time to teach the controversy: (external link) Since creationism isn't going away, let's use it in the classroom to teach the difference between Science and Pseudoscience by Christopher Baum
Mr. Baum basically advocates what I have been pushing for over ten years now on my main site (Dealing with Creationism in Astronomy) and here - use the pseudosciences in the classroom as demonstrations of how science determines what hypotheses fail and why.
This site is the blogging component for my discussions of badly-done science in astronomy and astrophysics (formerly "Dealing with Creationism in Astronomy"). It will (hopefully?) provide a more interactive component for discussion of the topics presented. I will also use this blog to comment on work in progress, news events, and other pseudoscience-related issues.
