If you adapt or modify an activity to better fit the needs of specific students, share that idea by posting a comment on the page where you downloaded the activity. It might be simply changing the text color or background. It might be a whole new twist on the activity. Either way, your contribution will make that resource page more valuable for others.
Similarly, if you think of a clever way to use the clip art, matching cards, and other building block resources, or create extension activities to go with a set you find here, post a comment on that, too. Let people know if they can contact you to get a copy. I can host some of these for you, too.
Another possibility for collaboration is to post a suggestion on this page. If you have an idea for a type of activity or subject you wish I would create, let me know. I don’t promise to get it done by any particular date, but it will happen. If you can think of specific clip art, or maybe a set of photos on a theme that would really help you out, suggest that as well. Again, I can’t promise, but if I have those photos or find time to do the art, I’ll post it. Click here to post a suggestion.
One last thing: Believe it or not, there are people out there so bored that they use the comment spaces on pages like this to post gibberish or inappropriate stuff, usually called spam. There’s a really good spam filter on this site. Plus, every comment is held until I check it, so spam isn’t going to appear in the comments online. So go find something more interesting to do than post spam here. In fact, try thinking of a real suggestion for an activity, or let me know about a link that would interest students. Takes more brains than posting spam, for sure!
