Best in Online Schools

Get your school in the book!

I am in the final stages of creating the database that will be used for the second edition of our online high schools book. If you are an online school, high school or not, please send us an email for possible inclusion in this book or other books to be published in 2012.

Resource of the Week: Online High Twitter

Want to keep up with what is going on in the world of online high schools in an easy-to-use manner? Fear not for I have created a twitter for just such a thing.  You can see it here.

Resource of the Week: CollegeData

CollegeData is a free resource offered by 1st Financial Bank, USA. The short version: Plug your information into the system and it will tell you if you would be accepted to a particular school.

Sounds good, huh?

It is a wonderful resource that I caution you in using. My inbox is full of emails from people who have been accepted to colleges for which they did not "qualify."

What am I saying? Yes, you should use it. Just don't always believe the results. They are a guide, a good guide, but you still need to realize that there are many factors for college acceptance. Sometimes it is not possible to quantify those factors.

Focus, people, focus!

Loyal readers from the past will note that I have shifted focus with this blog. I just didn't have much to say on it in the old format and was spending more time on my other blogs. I am hopeful that this shift will give you some interesting information.

So what is it I am doing here? Well, that title above should give you a clue. I am not sure if that title will be a keeper, but the thought is that I will showcase the best online high schools, the best online colleges, the best scholarships for online students, and the best of everything else that is of interest to online schoolers.

I think it makes sense. I hope that you do, too.

No excuses; Hubpages articles

I apologize that I have not had much time to do any writing here. I am hoping to fix that in the next few weeks. However, if you interested in online high schools, here are two short hubs that I wrote over at Hubpages.com
