Let me show you around

I have a feeling we may have a few first time visitors here at Get on the Bus in the coming days. I’m at the Online News Association conference in Washington, D.C., where this blog is a finalist for a nice award.

To help along those who just want to look around, I compiled some links. Here’s five of my favorite recent posts:

Google as teacher

Football and the magical GPA: An academic disgrace

Walk this way?

What not to wear (to school)

This man is a genius

If you want to go back a bit farther, here are five more from over the past year:

John Tierney picks the wrong study

Reasons to love (and fear) Bible school

When teens work, grades suffer

Is it all about the money?

Mr. D and the island whisperer

Good luck for the award, Scott. However, your blog is a lot more important than an award.
