Taking TIDES Seriously

Roberta, a colleague at our Fallbrook site, embarked on a self-imposed assignment this semester to adapt some of the TIDES lessons for the lowest level of our ESL classes, which she often teaches. Within two months of that "new term's resolution," she did exactly that, producing several adaptations for the "Starting TIDES" activities. You can click here for her 5-page work.

If you wish to take TIDES as seriously as Roberta, follow in her footsteps, or simply find some easy-to-use TIDES activities, here's the online route to take:

From Palomar's homepage, locate the "Quick Links" list (on the upper-right hand corner) and click on "Academic Technology" and then "Go." --> "Blackboard" --> "Faculty" --> "BB Sandbox Login." Then, you will see "ESL On Course Project: TIDES" after you log on with your Palomar email username (not the full email address) and your Palomar email password.
