Blog Changes

You may have noticed that this blog has been changing over the past month. The posts have been leaning more toward reading, history/social studies, and science, than about math and writing. While I will still be posting on these subjects, I am planning to include more posts about cultural literacy. This means that, not only will I be posting on things like Watergate and the Civil War, I will also be posting more about modern cultural references, such as movies, books, television, the Internet, and news items.

Cultural literacy is more than reading. It is having the background knowledge to make the most of your reading. Have you ever started watching a movie in the midde, so that you didn't really know what was going on? That's how a lot of people feel when they read a newspaper. One of my goals for this blog is to help fill in those gaps!

Winter 1 2010 Session Begins!

Welcome, new and returning learners! The Winter 1 session begins Monday, December 13.

We mailed all of the materials out yesterday. Online students should have received an email that included links to your classes. Workbook students should receive their materials in the mail over the weekend. If you have not received your materials by Wednesday, please let us know.

Because the holiday season falls in the middle of the Winter 1 session, this session will be seven weeks long, instead of the usual six weeks. Enjoy the break and please have a pleasant and safe holiday season!

Skills Tutor Update

The Skills Tutor site is experiencing technical difficulties, but they are aware of the problem and they are working on it. If you are having problems accessing the site, don't worry! Just try again later

Fall 2 Session Begins Monday

The Fall 2 Session begins Monday, October 18, and runs through Friday, December 3.

Online students-- you should have received an email with your class information, along with your usernames and passwords. You may begin working when you receive this information.

This blog is not part of your classes. It is here to provide you with helpful tips and information, plus some fun and interesting facts. Feel free to comment on posts!

Although this blog is intended for PA Distance Learning Project students, it is open to the public.
