This article explains what STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, ans Mathmatics) education is all about. It also discussed some of its benefits.

This site gives a very opinionated presentation of a few of the Copyright and Fair Use laws. This is still very interesting!

I agree with the article's main point, that it IS a teacher's responsibility to know, apply, and teach the copyright and fair use rules. I ALSO agree with you, that the rules and policies make performing the job nearly impossible! I feel the pain, personally. In my classrooms, I am sometimes at a loss (and sometimes just bluff my way through it!) on how to explain to a confused student what to do in regards to using a copywritten resource or how to cite a unique source. Thankflly, I have come across a really helpful weapon in the battle against confusion--an e-graphic organizer of sorts compiled by the UT librarians, and available for open use on their website: http://lib.utexas.edu/citations

I realized after reading that article, that I am guilty of copyright.....It's almost like they knew that we watched Toy Story the other day when it was raining, and it was almost time for 5:00 drive-thru.

This article discusses the impact the recession has had on parents making the decision to pull their children out of public school. It also mentions the difficult time these children are having making this transition.

Numbers play a major part particularly in this article that was written about Athletic scholarships. The numbers that are spoken about here are not a players statistics but instead how many athletes are actually trying to earn an athletic scholarship and the chances of them getting one. It talks about how to get one and all the things that are needed. The more information gathered on this topic the more you can get rid of all the little errors many prospective athletes make.

The easier the article to read the easier it is to understand. This article gets to the point and helps teachers focus on what it is they need to know and what to do.
