that’s a big ol’ list. When did you publish in the Shane newsletter? i think i must have missed that, wouldn’t mind checking it out if it’s somewhere online – i’m struggling to integrate lessons into my classes, outside of some i’ve made up/tweaked and keep rehashing :(.
You’re reading my mind. Plan to put links to all the articles mentioned on here, including putting the Shane ones up. Will start on that right now….
cool. good luck with that, sounds like a bit of a herculean task going by that list – and i know how tedious that kinda work can be at times. Look fwd to being able to check them though!
