@theteacherjames I suppose that's my point tho, it can be ANYTHING. The right scaffolding can allow for success with any resource. #eltchat |

@theteacherjames Yes, Guardian Family section is great. sadly 2 expensive 2 use in pub material :( #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |
12:52 PM |
I'll reask the ? I asked at the beginning ,keeping a lesson fresh is more materials and exploiting them isnt it? #eltchat |
| jeanneoakes |
12:52 PM |
@theteacherjames @MissLadyCaz #eltchat use the core curriculum content and then listen th the ss. tell you what they need |
| teflerinha |
12:53 PM |
@Shaunwilden Yes. Important to keep reading about methodology 2 I think and keep questioning urself #eltchat |
| teflerinha |
12:54 PM |
@jeanneoakes Yes, absoultely agree. technology has made this all so much easier. #eltchat |
