I just love interactive notebooks period! I think they are good for all subject areas. It is a way of keeping the students responsible for their learning and also is a good study tool.

It has definitely made a big difference with my students. I am excited to do more research about schools that have implimented the use of interactive notebook campus wide.

I was interested to read this article about interactive notebooks. We do science notebooking in our school. I try to modify it to a lifeskills level. I like the idea of vocabulary briefcase. I also like the comment about teachers should only write in blue or black ink. I think that it is important that the students doesn't think it is being "graded" that way they aren't afraid to share ideas.

My school is a large advocate of interactive notebooks. I like them alot for math it makes students have to show ownership for their notes. From this article I enjoyed reading about the vocabulary brief case. I think I will try to modify that idea for math. :)

The Truth about Sports Scholarships - CBS News - 2 views

This just like all the other articles on Athletic scholarships states what exactly goes on behind the scenes. Even though it is a very short and brief article it does not sugar coat and sale anything to the athletes. It shows what the realities are and what one needs to be aware of. It is better to be informed of the reality than to let your dream live on what you think something is. Knowledge is power, in this case it is also going to alleviate stress and headaches.

This article is so true. So many high school athletes have high hopes of going to college on an athletic scholarship and don't realize that it may not be guaranteed for all four years old school. This is particularly true for women athletes. I had a few female friends in college who went on athletic scholarships but ended up off them after a year or two. Having a second or back-up plan is important for students pursing athletic scholarships incase it doesn't work out. Another thing is many student athletes have high hopes of going pro. I think someone needs to really educated college athletes at the beginning of their school careers and let them know the likelihood of them actually going pro and the importance of making the most of their education to be prepared to work later in life.

Wow! This is another good article. I found the whole website interesting. I actually have a teenager that is about to graduate within the next year. He runs cross-country, and he is pretty good at it. He is top two in his school. We have been discussing colleges and scholarship offers that are available. After reading this article, it really had me thinking about the scholarship offers that are even available for my son. As a business teacher, I enjoy discussing college options for my students as well. This article gave me some helpful information that enlighten my knowledge of divisions and which sports usually get a full-ride. It is important to have a backup plan and not to rely on one school. Students should always have a plan B. Sports are not everything without a good GPA.

The article was a good read. I think working with the coaches and athletes you have to understand it is a business but in the same breath. It also depends on the sport your child is playing. Basketball. Basket, Football are the most grueling sports when it comes traveling and practice times. So, just research the school and what are the practice times if you have a focused student then they can come out with the right degree.
