Reading the Newspaper

Sometimes the newspaper can reveal some good websites worth using. Over the years I have discovered a number of good sites this way. Typically, I bookmark them within my Delicious account: delicious.com/sjardine.

Today I discovered SkillsUSA at www.skillsusa.org. A local Pocatello automotive teacher, Roy Angle, in the public school system recently earned the designation of first runner up for his work as SkillsUSA advisor for Region 5 (an area that includes much of the western U.S.). The Idaho State Journal's Jimmy Hancock describes the organization: "SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled work force." Idaho's School District 25 chose Angle as their Teacher of the Year.
