Elective #8 Newsletters for Jody Welin
Lesson Plans- This newsletter is just
plain awesome! It gives teachers a ton of information and resources.
EducationWorld.com provides you with links to recently submitted lesson plans.
They give you a brief statement about the lesson plan so you can see if the
plan is right for your area of content and grade level. The first 2 lesson
plans in this issue give ideas to keep students and teachers sane for the last
couple weeks of school. It gives us things to do that are fun but still
educational. Following the featured lesson plans are numerous other plans that
cover all content areas. This newsletter also offers links to other resources
like tech tips, teacher tools, website reviews, chats, & surveys. There are
probably 30 different links for teachers to explore. I recommend that every
teacher subscribe to this newsletter. I plan on keeping this subscription up
and running!!
Educational Humor This newsletter is
set up the same as the Lesson Plan newsletter. They both have 2 advertisers
listed before getting to the content of the newsletter. They also have an
advertisement at the end of the newsletter for another one of the other free
newsletters they provide. They ask that you pass this information on to other
teachers. The Humor newsletter is made to be light and funny. It provides us
with G rated humor about school/educational situations. In this issue there
were 2 stories that put a smile on my face. The first reminds me of the reasons
why I am a teacher and the second is a cute story about solving discipline
problems. This newsletter will help us all keep our mental sanity. It is
important to have a laugh every once in awhile so we dont forget the positives
in our lives. The only recommendation I have for this newsletter is to provide
more more jokes and stories per issue.
I subscribed to both newsletters at Education World. http://www.educationworld.com/maillist.shtml
