More education stuff, and a request

[sarahmichigan]

Hey: For my examiner page, they use some kind of secret formula to determine our pay. It includes page views, but they also factor in how many subscribers you have. Sadly, I have none. :(

If you'd be willing to subscribe to my page, I'd appreciate it. Don't feel pressured, but if you live in Michigan and/or are interested in Education news,  you might find some of the things I post about interesting. I'll be posting 4-7 stories a week, very likely never more than one a day. If you subscribe, you'll get an email alert when I publish something new.

To subscribe, go to my main page, and click on "Subscribe to Email" just under my mugshot.

A sampling of my latest posts:

Education 101: What is Proposal A?

Eastern Michigan University wins grant to help children learn about ecology

Michigan Academy for Green Mobility launched to train engineers for renewable energy jobs

Washtenaw Community College Web site wins award in national contest

Education 101: What is 826Michigan?

I think the last topic is really interesting, and there's a brief youtube video embedded for further explanation. I'm fascinated by the whole idea of having a silly storefront (Robot Repair, Superhero Store, Pirate Supply store, etc.) that supports a tutoring and literacy nonprofit in the back.

Do you know if they count RSS subscriptions, or is it just e-mail subscriptions?

I don't know, but you just giving me page views is a help, too!

I'm not in your area, but I subscribed anyway. I tried teaching, but found I don't have the calling. Education issues are still very interesting and important to me, though, as a parent if not as a teacher. I'm glad to subscribe and help you out. :)

As a former Michigander who is married to a teacher, do I count? also popfiend sent me.

Awesome- thanks! I'm also open to reader suggestions for topics I should follow up on. :)

Absolutely. Thanks! I'm open to reader suggestions for topics, so feel free to pass any on.

Came over via popfiend and subscribed- because I AM in Michigan (planning to move back to Washtenaw County within the year) and interested in Education.

Thank you!

Right now, I'm not doing a lot of original reporting but am sort of re-blogging interesting tidbits or collating several press releases together. Once the school year gets started, I'm hoping to do more original reporting and maybe even break some stories.
