Dribbling Lessons - Thing #8


I like the access route to the dribbling lessons. If you want to work on question generation, just click "question," etc. I've been incorporating search term lessons into each project introduction when a teacher brings his/her class to the library to learn about the teacher's webpage for the project. I've written some suggestions for searching directly under the project title so the kids can refer to them later and won't have to take notes when I'm presenting. An example is Nancy Plagens' project webpage. One simple search tactic many kids don't know, for instance, is that when searching for famous rulers you use Roman numerals, not 1, 2, etc. or the words one, two, etc.

About Me

Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....
