On line assignment

I read one article from the Washington Post and one from the the US Dept of Ed. The first article was about the four student athletes in Maryland who died in a car crash on the way home from a basketball workout. Four of the teens died, one remained in the hospital. The driver was driving with four teammates in the car, but he was subject to a law in Maryland that prohibits teenage drivers from having non-family members younger than 18 in the car with them for five months after getting a license.
I chose the article because it's one of the first articles I saw, and it looked to be a sad story. The article effects me since I coach basketball players who are just getting their licenses'. We make it a rule that they can't drive to games, but they all ride home from practice together. It hits home, since it really can happen to anyone. As an educator couldn't imagine dealing with all the grief that would go along with a situation like this.

The second article called, "Doing What Works" is about a web site created by the Dept of Ed to help teachers with stategies that have been know wo work. As a new teacher this is very beneficial to me, especially since I lack creativity. It also will help with diverstiy in the classroom. If a teacher needs to mix up the types of activities the teacher could easily log on a do a little research. I thought it was a very beneficial for me to read. I chose it because, how can you go wrong by choosing an article that teaches you what works!!
