Wow! At this busy time of year for educators, many of us find our
inboxes full of interesting stuff we just don't get around to exploring
further. May I encourage you to take the time to read Steve Quann's
wonderful log of a recent project he did with his ESL class. It's quite
inspiring and full of great ideas, but the best part is hearing him
describe the behind-the-scenes steps he went through to design and carry
it out. THIS is the reason I subscribe to NIFL lists--to connect to and
learn from exemplary educators in the field. Check it out.

Subject: [NIFL-4EFF:2712] Health & Literacy Weblog - Update and Request

>From Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi:
 
Health & Literacy Weblog
 
I want to let you know about a new feature we are piloting for the
Health & Literacy Special Collection Website
www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs and invite you to participate. 
 
We want to establish a Health & Literacy Weblog.  The idea is to create
an active space where teachers and health educators can share their
health and literacy ideas and experiences. Unlike a listserve or
bulletin board, Weblogs usually take the form of a running journal.
Over time we hope to invite many different teachers (and provide them
with stipends) to reflect via the "blog."  

Steve Quann has volunteered to lead the pilot for us.  He will go
through the process of developing a health lesson, implementing it in
his ESL classroom, and with the input of others (and this is were you
come in), reflecting on
the experience.  To help us with the pilot, we are looking for folks
interested in health and literacy, and the Internet to log on and
comment!  The more people, and the more comments the better!
 
If you're interested to seeing a Health & Literacy Weblog in action, and
offering your comments and suggestions, go to the
http://www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs and click on Health & Literacy
Weblog.   
 
I hope you'll check it out!  
 
- Sabrina
