Clubbing Tech Know: Class action ESL teachers stuck for a lesson plan can turn to the web for some fantastic classroom ideas and ways to boost student interest, as Kristen McQuillin learns. "To help [students] to improve, introduce 'sound-alike word' practice. This could start from a listening perspective—you state one of two identified sound-alike words, and on a piece of paper they mark one of two pictures (soccer or circle). Then repeat the word in a sentence where structure and meaning will give hints as to which word could fit the sentence. When they start to realize that hearing a word will affect their ability to comprehend a sentence, they will listen harder, and that is the first step toward them concentrating on pronouncing the words more clearly themselves." In the Idea Cookbook, teachers are encouraged to submit their teaching insights on topics ranging from business English to classroom discipline. The wide variety of clever classroom tricks is astounding.

Extractions: Volume 5 * Fall 1999 Jump to: page 2 page 3 page 4 page 5 ... page 9 (Des Moines, Tuesday, September 7, 1999) - Emphasizing the importance of basic literacy skills for success in life and work, Governor Tom Vilsack declared September as Literacy Month in Iowa. First Lady Christie Vilsack presented the proclamation on literacy during a news conference at a Des Moines elementary school. "The lack of basic adult literacy skills affects Iowans' ability to be successful in the workplace," according to Sally Schroeder, Adult Education consultant, Iowa Department of Education. "It also impacts on Iowa's future, since adult literacy affects the basic health, welfare, and academic success of the children of our state as well." While Iowa adults, on average, outperform the nation on tasks that measure literacy, consider these facts: 39% of Iowa adults are at the lowest two literacy levels measured by the Iowa State Adult Literacy Survey as compared to 50% of the adult population nationally; More than 40% of the U.S. workforce lack the basic literacy skills to effectively function in today's workforce environment.

Extractions: Archive of Tips Tips for First Aid/CPR January, 1999 - Stroke kills many people in North America every year. Many more who have a stroke face many years of frustrating and expensive rehabilitation. Early diagnosis can increase the person's chance of survival and through new drug therapy treatments, the extent of damage to the brain is lessened. A stroke is a "brain attack", often caused by the same damage to the arteries as happens in a heart attack. Knowing the signs and accessing immediate medical attention are of paramount importance. These are some of the signs of stroke. If you see or experience any or all of them, immediately call for an ambulance. An early response by ambulance personnel and early access to a hospital will greatly influence the outcome of this all too common medical emergency. February, 1999
