Beebe School Engineering: How to post a lesson or activity description...

This website can be used to share lessons with the community of educators on the world-wide web, as well as with the professionals currently working in your school district or even your own team of teachers. As such, it is important that people be able to search for, and accurately locate these valuable lessons and activities. The blogger.com blogging website offers an advantage that other websites may not... Google.

Blogger.com is owned by Google and is therefore indexed frequently by Google's computers. To aid that indexing and for the assistance of other users, please post your work in the following format:

Title of post: Descriptive title of project rather than a cute use of alliteration. If the handout was titled "Pringles protector" when you were supporting textbooks over a fragile potato chip, consider altering the title of the post to "Potato chip protector" or "Introductory Structures Challenge". A teacher searching for your lesson (including you) would have to search Google for "Pringles Protector" in order to get a positive search result.
Post text: Try to include as many descriptive and helpful terms as possible. Materials required, approximate cost, length of the project, assessments, rubrics, teacher tips, etc. Wouldn't it be great if you searched for a lesson and found all these things? Put everything you generate up there and start a culture of sharing!
Formatting: Try not to use too much fancy formatting. No matter how nice your handouts look to you, teachers that download them will probably not like it for their own use and will just strip out the text and the central ideas. Why not present these things in plain vanilla text rather than in Microsoft Wordart (notoriously hard to move around from document to document).
