How Things are Going on our Website

On the eve of my 63rd birthday I had some thoughts.  One was that I really hated not working on the site yesterday - my life getting in the way.  And that's a good thing.  Life always should come first.

But I am proud of the progress here.  I work nearly every day on AwaytoTeach.  I alternate - one day on World Lit, the next on British Literature.  I have been spreading the word about the site on social media.  Mainly, Facebook - mainly when people ask for help with a topic - and I think this site will actually help them.  

I am not good - nor do I want to be good at self-promotion.  I was that way when I taught too.  I had a reputation as being incredibly hard.  I wasn't.  I actually assigned less than most - but the difference was that I quizzed my students to see if they had done it.  Mainly, the "it" was the reading.

I can't wait till I have an entire year on this site of lessons.  We are at, perhaps, the 6 or 7 week point.  When we get a quarter done - it will be better than a birthday.  Cheers!
