it's easy to complain...

We all do it. We vent to our colleagues...to anyone who will listen. Our resources to help our students grasp appropriate 21st. century skills are dwindling. School budgets are strapped...especially now with rising fuel prices. You can do more than share your frustrations with your neighbors. Become informed about edtech funding nationally and let your congressional representatives know your concerns. Imagine the effect educators would have if we all sent e-mail to our representatives in Washington. Investigate ETAN.

New ed.gov site - Doing What Works

Doing What Works is definitely worth a look. You can subscribe and will be alerted as updates/new curricular areas are added to the site. At present there are videos, templates and white papers concerned with ELL.
