Educational News Online
by Darren W. Hood

Have you ever been interested in reading news that deals strictly with the educational world/community? Several great sites are available.

The following few will whet your whistle:

  • NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/topics/topic.php?topicId=1013)
    An internationally acclaimed producer and distributor of noncommercial news, talk, and entertainment programming, offers several news stories and topics on educational happenings in the United States via the above link.

  • Editorial Projects in Education (http://www.edweek.org)
    This group publishes Education Week, American education's newspaper of record, Teacher Magazine, edweek.org and Agent K-12. We also publish periodic special reports on issues ranging from technology to textbooks, as well as books of special interest to educators.

  • EducationNews.org (www.educationnews.org)
    This site boasts itself as the Internet's leading source of education news, harvesting educational information from various publications.

  • The Chronicle of Higher Education (www.chronicle.com)
    The Chronicle of Higher Education is the No. 1 source of news, information, and jobs for college and university faculty members and administrators. If you're looking for a teaching job on the collegiate level, this is a great place to include in your search.

I hope you find these sites helpful. Let me know what you think.
