Not So Good News, ESL Literacy Teachers!

 Ha! I had spent HOURS and HOURS building the last segment of the master class using Weebly's built-in accordion app. ACTIVITIES was the final section of the accordion. Once finished, I only had to delete the extra empty sections of the accordion. Well, as careful as I thought I was being, I accidentally deleted the last section that contained content. And I saved before I realized what I had done. 

I contacted support, and they kindly and compassionately grieved with me the loss of this content that cannot be returned to me. There is no backup from the day before that can be restored. Sigh.

At times like these, Buddhist teachings come to my rescue.

It's okay. I can start again. In fact, this gives me a chance to use a better structure than I had. The one I had built was rather irregular in its pattern. I think it would be more helpful to have columns: name of worksheet or activity; free template or link to worksheet generator; blog post about using it with the learners or notes for the teacher.

We shall see.

For now, it's Veteran's Day in this country and I have invasive species to eradicate from the yard now that it's cool enough to do strenuous garden work.

Wish me luck!
