After spending some time looking into lessons provided on the oetc website, I am rather impressed. There is a series of using blogs to build a community of writers lessons that look very promising. The lesson in this series has parent letter examples inSpanish and English. Wonderful resources there for blogging in general and communicating with parents. I also found an adjectives and adverbs lesson that can be tweaked to work in Gail's classroom and Kolleen's possibly. I stored these in my favorites on the site. All I have to do is figure out how to access those now and get them to teachers.
Questions:
What do I do when I find lessons I think teachers might like or can use as a jumping off point.
Do I need to read them completely.
Do the teachers want summaries?
Reflection:
The more I read the more I see we need a word processing program soon. I still think google apps is a great resource and could be used now as a filler. Why wait to teach individual skills when there is a resource? I can see us doing the adj. and adv. lesson on google apps. Hmmm.... Isn't this an option some kids might want so can work on stuff at home if slower worker and have the resources? Food for thought.
