I am teaching a computer class at a small private school and there are no books to help me. I need to teach kids K-8th grade and I really don't know where to start. We are running office 2000 on P3 and lower computers. they are slow. So we are also looking for new computers free or cheap P4 or better. Can anyone help?

    Hi Shawn,

    Proposal writing is a great skill-set and working with middle school students on their writing is commendable. I have one caution that comes to mind and that's one of politics. Proceed with care in reaching out to taxpayers who may feel they are already providing financial support.

    I encourage you to respond to current Requests for Proposals rather than have students solicit funds from friends and family etc.

    Please know, I believe you're right on as far as reaching out to and involving the community...just looking out at potential outcomes. Good luck!

    Dear Shawn,

    We already have the website of our project finished and we’d like to share it with you.

    The goal of Bablingua is to offer good audiovisual materials filmed in Hispanic countries that can help teachers to enrich their classes. In the website there are short videos, long videos, vocabulary cards and a blog with free activities, games and new ideas for the foreign language class.

    Please, visit us at : www.bablingua.com, and let us know your opinion, comments and ideas you have to improve it.

    Hi Shawn. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
