NEWS FLASH!

This will be a regular feature, please check it out...

As frequently as possible, I'll bring you interesting new sites which initially will appear only on this page. The timing is somewhat sporadic at the moment -- this is a volunteer effort, and other pressures sometimes intrude...

To get information to you more quickly, I'll create some quick files for early-deadline material -- conferences, awards, holidays, special events, and so forth. Warning: formatting may be a little "iffy" in the interests of speed!

I'm experimenting with a "new look". If you don't like it please be patient -- it will probably change!

Please email me with your favorite online sites; let me know if you come across any inactive URLs here; or have any other questions or comments!


USA WEEKEND (Magazine) offers Partners In Education teachers' guides to using their Annual Teen Surveys and special reports, mustering young people into a volunteer force and inspiring high-schoolers to write fiction. Best-selling authors give advice on writing fiction in a downloadable Partners writing guide designed to accompany the annual Fiction Writing Contest for high schoolers. The guide tells how to generate ideas, develop plots and characters and revise, revise, revise. In January, look for the new writing guide and contest rules with entry forms.

A great site from Ed Schmidt, Industrial Tech. Dept., Putnam County School District. Ed says:

I'm in the process of putting together an online learning site, primarily dealing with high school technology, engineering and science. It is designed so that students have to use internet sites as their reference material and then take a quiz once they've read a particular assigned site. It's a lot of work, but I feel that from what I've seen on the web, it's quite unique.

Please visit the new file of Charter School Resources -- it also contains many valuable links to assessment and curriculum information...


Although this is a Halloween site it includes other activities (e.g., understanding friendship) and uses amusing graphics.

Hi folks...

Just thought I'd mention, I threw together a quick web page with a description of several different web sites with a Halloween theme. They have lots of fun (AND educational) activities for kids and teachers. Enjoy!
