Classroom Blog: Valdosta State University trip
http://starclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/04/valdosta-state-university-trip.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. Valdosta State University trip. Dan, this is the artist rendering of the Student Union –let me know if you need photos of anything else on campus. Valdosta State University, like other schools in Georgia, is preparing for an influx of students. The collge expects 16,000 students by 2020 and is in the middle of a $263 million expansion project. It's a bit bigger than Jacksonville State University already and will continue to grow for the next decade or so. Pictures of new dormitory.

Classroom Blog: I'm back, I'm back
http://starclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/04/im-back-im-back.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2008. I'm back, I'm back. Back from my honeymoon and I'm ready to roll. While I was away, I received some feedback from my story about Anniston City Schools. Here are two letters I received. I joined IBM in 1960 and worked for them for 33 years. During the 1960's and 1970's. We could not build new plant sites fast enough to meet the growing demand for computer products. As long as this condition exists, Anniston will struggle to reestablish it's economic vitality. I have 25 years exp...

Thursday, April 24, 2008. Some of you may have read. About tonight's Anniston Board of Education meeting. Based on some of the rumblings I'm hearing from the community, it should be a hot one. Councilman Ben Little is sending a letter to the school board saying the same thing. The meeting is at 6 pm in the central office at 4804 McClellan Blvd. Posted by Dan Whisenhunt.

Classroom Blog: Wellborn student earns national merit scholarship
http://starclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/04/wellborn-student-earns-national-merit.html
Thursday, April 3, 2008. Wellborn student earns national merit scholarship. It's a first, as far as June Bentley can tell. The social studies teacher at Wellborn High School, who has been teaching for 13 years at the school, thinks senior Erica Bell is the only national merit achievement scholar the school has ever had. Bell is at least the first in recent memory. She just looks intelligent," said Bentley, who is teaching Bell economics this year. Posted by Andy Johns, mobile reporter. Higher Education P...

Classroom Blog: Follow-up thoughts from Valdosta
http://starclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/05/follow-up-thoughts-from-valdosta.html
Monday, May 5, 2008. Follow-up thoughts from Valdosta. I enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the office (ok, flee the office) and go down to Valdosta for Dr. Bill Meehan's interview. I learned a lot about what issues are facing regional universities as they try to fill their niche. And Meehan was in fact staying across the hall from me. We chatted informally for half an hour Tuesday night and I got a better sense of his thoughts on Alabama education v. Georgia education. Posted by Dan Whisenhunt. Alaba...

Classroom Blog: More from Valdosta
http://starclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-from-valdosta.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. I toured more of the campus and spoke to students at Valdosta. State University, who were an incredibly friendly and obliging bunch. Everyone was very helpful and had real insights into what was going on- rare when you do man-on-the-street type interviews. Jax. State University President Bill Meehan. Had his first public forum and I was glad to hear the depth of the questions the faculty asked. They obviously have a vested interest in who gets the job here. Child Care Network Inc.
