ACTE launches two new blogs

If you visit the National ACTE website you will see that they have launched two new blogs via Wordpress (see link in 11.27.07 post). One blog is a temporary blog, which will be written by Jody Koenigseker from R.G. Drage Career Center in Massillon, Ohio, where she is a career assessment specialist. She will be blogging about her experiences, thoughts, and observations at the National ACTE Conference in Las Vegas. This is a great way to use a blog.
The other blog they launched is for Guidance and Career Development. Here are the links to both of these blogs if you wish to share them with your staffs:
