Re: [WikiEducator] To save our PLANET; a new year resolution
Respected Sir, I think it's a great idea and wonderful resolution.You are really a great inspiration to all of us. I read your article on 'To save our planet' and other general articles on your blog. They are wonderful. In fact, I registered myself as UNO Volunteer and thinking of writing some articles. Hopefully, I will be able to do that.

[WikiEducator] Have you seen the illegal AFS English publications?
Eslprintables is a website for teachers to exchange their worksheets. One dishonest member in Turkey downloaded the best worksheets and ppublished them in his expensive series of English teaching materials. http://afsyayincilik-thieves.blogspot.com/ is a campaign started by the owner of eslprintables to stop him. Since our group is an international group, maybe someone has a contact in Turkey who can help get the word out by telling other teachers not to buy the AFS materials since they are stolen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

[WikiEducator] New Year's Resolutions
Anil, Interesting post! I agree that New Year's resolutions are in order, but that we shouldn't lose sight of our mission, even if it's to acknowledge other important issues. So given that our mission is to develop open educational resources, what might be great to hear is what content each of us resolves to complete and add to WE in the coming year. That way, for example, those who share your concern about environmental matters can resolve to use WE as a platform for building educational resources that address that issue. I believe Edward Cherlin indicated he was already doing this. I suppose I shouldn't suggest this without being willing to go first? So, I've meant for some time to get Marshall's Principles of Economics wikified so that it can updated to serve today's students. With the WYSIWYG editor now available at least in beta, I resolve to get at least this much done in 2010. -=Steve=- -- Stephen H.

[WikiEducator] Teaching with Historic Places
I recently asked a friend of mine, Robert Sandoval for an explanation of the Park Service's 'Teaching with Historic Places' program. Robert used to work in the Historic Landmarks office in Washington and has a Masters in History from George Mason University. I wanted to find a resource to teach my daughter about history and historic preservation. His answer follows: Dear Sandy, So good to hear from you again and I hope I can help. If you remember, when we were in graduate school, I interned at the Park Service and had a chance to work on the Civil Rights Travel Itinerary and assist with a Teaching with Historic Places based on the same Civil Rights sites. Officially, Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) is a program of the National Park Service's Heritage Education Services office. Over the years TwHP has developed a variety of products and services. These include a series of lesson plans; guidance on using places to teach; information encouraging educators, historians, preservationists, site interpreters, and others to work together effectively; and professional development publications and training courses. Basically, TwHP uses the historic sites listed on the National Register and National Historic Landmarks to help teach and illustrate historic themes in American history. Students learn to use primary sources (documents, photos, maps, etc.) to analyze historic events and relate them to broader themes in American history. Some of the lessons include Civil War, Historic Preservation, Women’s History, and the Industrial Revolution. The lesson plans can be used for all grade levels and students and teachers can even create their own. You should go the TwHP website (http://www.nps.gov/history/NR/twhp/index.htm) to see all the plans. Hope this has helped. I went to the site and found some very good lesson plans and my daughter really enjoys the photos and maps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.
