eNews Weekly Newsletter

This is the first newsletter of the 2003-2004 school year.  Generally, I send the newsletter out on Thursdays.  Due to web problems, I have not been able to get this to you before today,

This newsletter is sent to the schools I serve and a growing list of teachers, technology professionals, and administrators.  There is an archive of past newsletters so teachers do not need to save the weekly issues.  You can find them at:

http://teach.fcps.net/trt4/enews.htm

Please let me know if there are topics you would like to see in the newsletter.  Your suggestions are always warmly welcomed!

How May I Help You?

Probably one of the biggest "new" teaching tools you will be working with this year is the Curriculum Map.  I have had the FCPS training in the Curriculum Map, and I have had a number of years of experience in developing and using Curriculum Maps while I was in other school districts.  I'd be glad to help you with the Curriculum Map.  Here are just a few of the things I can do to assist you.

  • Locating lesson plans on the Internet

  • Finding corresponding web sites for research and activities

  • Collaborating on activities and lessons

  • Helping with the technology components for your lessons

  • Setting up your Curriculum Map on your server or computer.

TEACHERS & STAFF:  I have tried to capture the best sites representing lesson plans, activities, projects and classroom management techniques for the first weeks of school.  Many ideas can be tied into the FCPS Curriculum Map.

After a long summer, it's easy to forget how to do certain things on the computer.  Please don't hesitate to ask if you need help in any way!

 

I am looking forward to working with you this year!!!
