This article is from an NEA publication about President Bush's proposed budget for education. His budget proposals came out just a few days after his State of the Union address. In his address he talks wonderfully of the good NCLB is doing and how great our educational system is and then he puts out a budget with major cuts to major programs. One of the programs being Career and Tech Ed. so I am not a supportor of this budget.

This article is in support of CTE, which ties in with the first article. It does not have to do with computer technology. But the article points out the importance of CTE and preparing students for the future.

I found this web quest to be attractive and engaging. It has the students go to 3 different cafe web sites and research their menu and pricing information. The students then make their own menus and calculate the prices. We do not have a pro start program at our school but I could adapt this web quest to use in my classes.
