In order to reduce our copying budgets and protect the environment, we need to use less paper in our adult ESL classrooms. The blog's goal is to share ways to maximize use of textbooks, board activities, cooperative learning strategies, and strategies using technology - all of which use little or no paper.
I visited Lisa Johnson's Level 4 class in San Francisco during our Thanksgiving break and she expressed two valid concerns about doing more board work: 1. The class can tend to be more teacher-centered. 2. Students think that "board activities" are not as important as a handout and may tune out.
Thank you for your presentation at CATESOL. I enjoyed it and am sharing your blog address with the non-credit teachers at Mt. San Antonio College. Would you two be willing to videotape your presentation if you are giving it again at an in-service or regional? I'm trying to collect videotaped presentations for CATESOL.
