You Can Help Children Learn Through Mastering Your Curriculum Materials.
Gary North
If you have a better way to help children teach themselves, this site provides you with an opportunity to prove your point. Digital technology offers multiple ways for you to communicate at zero cost to students. Maybe you are visual-oriented. YouTube and Blip.tv are tools for you to master. Set up your own channels on both sites. Blip.tv is for videos longer than 10 minutes. If you want to see a great teaching site that uses YouTube videos, go here: www.KhanAcademy.org. Can you match this: arithmetic? Maybe you are text-oriented. The pages on this site let students download your materials. Maybe you like workbooks as teaching tools. The PDF is a perfect way to convert Word for Windows (or its free OpenOffice clone) into printable ebooks. Once on-line, digits are permanent. If your course is good enough, it will still be used a century from now. You, too, can be a McGuffey. You don't have to be a certified teacher. You only have to be a good teacher . . . using digits. Alkl I ask is that you agree with the curriculum's worldview and #1 goal. (If, after you read this, you think, "Nobody taught me anything like this," you will understand why I think this curriculum is vital.)
