About:
This blog is excellent for teachers and students looking to refine their leadership skills. Although the blog is primarily about leadership in marketing and management (which is why it really applies to business education), the principles learned here can be applied to life in general. Orrin's blog has received many awards in the blogging industry, including being in the "Human Resources top 50 Blogs to Watch" list.

Review:
Orrin's blog is jam packed full of information as well as videos. Much of what he blogs about is from what he has read, heard, or seen that applies to leadership. He often references back to Jeffersonian principles of leadership and morality.

**About:**
Diane is an experienced foreign language teacher who has created this website for others to enjoy and participate in to gather and exchange valuable information, tools and tips about teaching a foreign language.

**About:**
Rosetta Stone is a well known software program designed to help learners of a foreign language immerse themselves in the language without learning confusing grammar rules and meaningless memorization. The program was invented by Allen Stoltzfus who was frustrated when learning Russian. Now Rosetta Stone has become one of the most popular programs to use to learn any foreign language. Thanks to the invention of the Internet, people can now subscribe to the online program, work at their own pace and learn the language through its all inclusive, interactive lessons.

**Review:**
Rosetta Stone is the perfect software to use for individuals, teachers and homeschoolers. It provides all the important elements of learning a language which are listening, reading and writing. It even has a part where you can practice pronunciation and it tells you how close you are to speaking like a native speaker. Teachers can also modify and create their own lessons to accommodate their curriculum.

About:
The mathebook is an online learning resource that contains online tutorials, a math dictionary, and even editable PDF files for math in grades k-12. Students can type in the PDF file with their answers and e-mail their homework. This saves paper and copies, if you are limited in your number of copies. The online tutorials are good practice that keeps score as you answer questions.

Review:
The idea for this website is excellent. I like the idea of students submitting homework by e-mail. The types of practice problems for high school is limited though. Overall, it is a pretty good site.
