Bright students to get £20,000 to train as teachers - Telegraph
Bright students to get £20,000 to train as teachers - Telegraph:
http://jeffreyhill.typepad.com/english/2011/06/words-in-the-news-reward.html"Graduates with first-class degrees will be eligible for the most generous bursaries to teach shortage subjects such as science and maths, The Daily Telegraph has learnt.
In an overhaul of the system of teacher training in England, ministers will announce the introduction of new personality tests – combined with tougher English and maths exams – to weed out the weakest applicants.
Teacher training courses will be reformed to put more focus on behaviour management and reading. Ministers will also signal plans to train more students in schools – instead of universities – in a move seen as an attack on the Left-wing teaching establishment.
The reforms are designed to raise the profile of the teaching profession amid fears that English state schools are falling behind those in other developed nations.
It comes just days after Sir Terry Leahy, the former chief executive of Tesco, described the quality of education offered in many schools as “simply not good enough”."

Top note-taking apps for iOS | The Download Blog - Download.com:
"Aside from games, some of the most popular categories of iOS apps in the iTunes App Store are note-taking apps. Whether you're a student taking notes for class or your workday requires that you take notes in meetings, a handy app that makes it easy to jot things down and organize them can be incredibly useful.
Apple's Pages ($9.99) is probably the most obvious choice here, having been around since the first iPad was launched (now a universal app for iPhone and iPod Touch as well), but there are several third-party apps that offer different features that might be more in tune with your style of note-taking.
This week's iOS apps are all about taking notes. The first is all about taking notes that autosync across all your devices; the second offers a sleek-looking interface with several themes to categorize your notes; and the last is an iPad-only app offering an elegant system for keeping your class and meeting notes organized."

Procrastination - Tips for Stopping Procrastination:
"Why We Procrastinate
Why do we fall into the procrastination trap time after time? Because procrastination becomes a way--no matter how maladaptive-- of coping with the emotions and physical symptoms that accompany depression. It may bring some temporary relief, but we eventually wake up the following day and find that no brownies have dropped in overnight and done our work for us.
Which style of procrastination fits you? "
