The Educators' Royal Treatment
Ken Royal's site, The Educators' Royal Treatment, provides a place for educators and technology leaders to share their ideas. This is definitely a favorite. If you have an idea to share contact Ken Royal.
When I think back to March 2000, so much has changed. I connected with Ken while he was still teaching and abcteach was in its infancy. Communicating and networking by email was the norm in those days (not that many years ago). It was fun for me to communicate with Ken and to know someone was interested in what I was trying to do. I was able to communicate with his classroom as they studied the rain forest. Fun!
Things have changed and there are more and more ways to communicate globally. If you are finding it hard to keep up with the new technology and how it might apply to your classroom, check out Ken's site. I do.

July/August
Free site users and members used lots of our July holiday materials - from patriotic writing prompts for Independence Day to coloring pages for Canada Day. We also saw lots of our summertime activities being downloaded - reading logs, crafts, projects, and more. Summer is a great time to explore abcteach. Parents can help their children keep up with what they learned in school, and teachers can get an early start on preparing a dazzling school year.
In August, we’re sure many of you are already focusing on back to school, and so are we. We have a collection of nearly a hundred back to school documents on the free site, and another two hundred on the member site. Whether you’re looking for desk tags, bulletin board ideas, “getting to know you” games, or large welcome posters, abcteach has you covered.
I hope you’ll let us know what you’ve used, what you’ve loved, and what you’d like to see more of in the coming months. Requests can take some time, so if there’s something you’d like to see in the upcoming school year, let us know now! We really do love hearing from our users.
