Discover Something New (Favorite Educational Channel)

Thanks for the guest post by Esteban Vinson

Remember your school days when each day was a brand-new opportunity to discover something new? Well, a favorite educational channel should present such a feeling to their viewers in my view. My favorite educational channel is the Discovery Channel which I view on my www.tvbydirect.com satellite tv several times a week. The Discovery Channel has a wealth of information and programming each night of the week. The viewers are entertained while learning fascinating facts about faraway places and everyday things. One favorite program to watch is Myth Busters. Each program they report on a favorite myth and bust that myth. One of my all time favorite shows was when the team challenged the myth about the bullet proof vest. Another favorite program is Planet Earth. Planet Earth is a fascinating and very informative program that takes the viewer on a journey around the Earth. One week you might be in a dessert, the next in the middle of a rain Forrest. Many people think that their job stinks. And long for a better job. Watch Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel and find out about jobs that really do literally stink. So, it is easy to see why many love watching the Discovery Channel.

The Majorly Personal Meme, Part One

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!!

Today we ripped this meme off a blog that is written by a group of high school students. The blog is called Eternal Fireworks. The writers are: Michael, Kynan, Alex, Kenny, Chris, Leo, Shelley, Athy, Bam, Tina, Bnita, and Athy (yes there are two). There is no statement as to where it came from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. It is a long meme and we shall do it in parts. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Woodrow Wilson. All opinions are 100% mine.

I always wanted to become a teacher someday, but due to the love I have for my family, I decided to set it aside and pursue my dream later. On the other hand, my husband plans to change his career for the field of his industry is not very stable; in fact he already got laid off from job twice in one year. My husband had already earned a bachelors degree and an associate degree, but both are not related in to teaching. And so, he wants to go back to school to get degree in teacher education. He is not just sure yet which school to attend.

Good thing there is a program that helps and encourages those who want to become teacher just like my husband. Woodrow Wilson Teaching fellowship encourages and helps these prospective teachers to work in the classroom where they are needed. The program also prepares, mentors future teachers through schooling on top of offering a $30,000 stipend for those who want to change their career just like my husband and also those who are recent graduates of Math, Technology, Engineering and Science fields. If you are interested, there are 14 participating universities you can choose from in order to complete the Master's program. To qualify, you must have completed an undergraduate in one of the related fields mentioned here by June of 2011 and have at least 3.0 GPA with great commitment to the program and its goal.

After you enrolled in the program, you need to complete teacher field-based master's degree in teacher education. You also need to teach in a high-need school for three years. Part of the program is you will also be provided with support as well as mentors in the classroom as you teach. Whichever program you enrolled in is where you would complete your Master's degree and be teaching the minimum of 3 years following your graduation. The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships seeks to recruit, prepare and retain effective teachers for the students and schools who need them most.

Don't Settle for Less, Get Directv!

Before we moved to our new house, expenses are like filing up and so hubby and I decided to cut our expenses by canceling our satellite television and other unnecessary things that we can live without. It was hard at first since we both like to watch tv shows and movies in the comfort of our home. But later on we were able to get used to just watching the shows and movies on television.

Now that we have the means to get a subscription again we think of finding a satellite tv provider that offers great savings like the directv deals I read on the internet the other day. Right now, you can even get a free quote in just 15 minutes on their website and compare them to costly cable and other competitors.
