First, believing some of our compadres might like to go, Sharon Hightower wanted me to share the following information about the 14th Annual Free Shakespeare - Much Ado About Nothing at the Coronado Playhouse.
Shakespeare's classic comedy has everything: Soldiers returning from war, lovers, a wedding, a villain determined to end the romance, and friends who set a “lover’s trap” for Benedick, a confirmed bachelor, and Beatrice, his verbal sparring partner.
Making learning accessible to all students including disabled ones isn't my strong suit as a teacher, but I'm glad that I now know who in the dept. to turn to as a resource person. Angela Webster acquired the coveted title of a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Scholar and join their team during the summer break. A UDL Scholar designs course instruction, materials, and content to make learning accessible to all students. Angela's project, which will be shared at conferences and learning communities, is a step-by-tep PPT presentation that low-level ESL students, literacy students, non- or semi-computer-literate students, students with learning disabilities, and disabled students will all be able to create, thus increasing their reading, speaking and writing skills. The UDL Scholar program is part of San Diego State University Interwork Institute, and is partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education.
Last, but not least, Sharon Hightower sent me a couple lab lesson plans to share with you all as a follow up on my last blog entry on using online calendars in the classroom. This one uses the web. This one involves Microsoft Word.
