Ruth Ayres10 Comments

Check out this website I stumbled across: Not for Robots Writing is hard. People for whom writing is not hard are robots and should go away. Thank you. I'm not telling anymore, just that when I found myself in the midst of the site I knew it was perfect for Sundays for the Soul. Let… Continue reading Sundays for the Soul: Not for Robots

Kevin, Creator of Day in a Sentence, used a new technology, Jog the Web, to showcase everyone's posts this week.

I found a fantastic site today, The Busy Teacher's Cafe, which is put together by a literacy coach from Passaic, NJ.

Writing Fiction? Take the next step!

Ruth Ayres

My son loves-loves-loves books.  This steals my heart.  It also allows me even more time to read children's books.  What I've noticed is my desire to dive in and write fiction.

Here are a few websites I thought may interest readers of this blog. Mary Helen Gensch, a writing coach for Whitko School District, shared this site for Graphic Organizers.  There are maybe a ba-jillion (and that's a technical count) different graphic organizers for all of your organizing needs.  Phil Metcalf, the vocational director at Wawasee… Continue reading Some Websites
