Have you visited the Education Hub yet? If not, you should be sure to check it out.

What is the Education Hub you ask? It is a group of three great education topics here at Suite 101 that cover a range of educational issues and areas. You can find it here: http://www.suite101.com/welcome.cfm/14161

The first topic is actually called the Education K-12 Hub. This topic is the link between the Education K-12 Hub, the Supplementing School topic and Teaching Creative Writing to Children. All material at this topic which was published prior to October 02, 2001 is under the copyright of Dorothy Kropf, former CE of this topic. This topic was originally know as Education K-12.

Some of the great articles found here include:

Organizational skills are important. Let's teach them.
