I want to let you know about a new feature we are piloting for the
Health & Literacy Special Collection Website
www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs and invite you to participate. 
 
We going to try to establish a Health & Literacy Weblog.  The idea is
to create an active space where teachers and possibly health educators
can share their health and literacy ideas and experiences. Unlike a
listserve or bulletin board, Weblogs usually take the form of a running
journal.  Over time we hope to invite many different teachers (and
provide them with stipends) to reflect via the "blog."  If you are new
to Weblogs (which I was until recently) you can go to
http://www.literacytech.org to see one in action.  
 
Steve Quann has volunteered to lead the pilot for us.  Starting next
week (the week of March 8th) Steve will go through the process of
developing a health lesson, implementing it in his ESL classroom, and
with the input of others (and this is were you come in), reflecting on
the experience.  To help us with the pilot, we are looking for folks
interested in health and literacy, and the Internet to log on and
comment!  The more people, and the more comments the better!
 
The pilot begins on Monday, March 8th, but if you want to check it out
early, go to http://www.literacytech.org/teacherjournal.html.
  
I hope you'll check it out!
