Are you interested in health literacy lessons and the Internet?  Visit
the LINCS Health & Literacy Special Collection <http://
www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs> for lesson plans developed by teachers
and learners (click on mini-grants). 
 
This past summer the LINCS Health & Literacy Special Collection offered
stipends to ABE and ESOL teachers and learners to develop health
literary lessons using the Internet.  Three of these lessons (along with
teacher reflections and student responses) were web-published for others
to use and learn from.  We are in the process of web-publishing more and
are encouraging teachers to submit their lessons and comment on their
experiences.  
 
I am interested in hearing from you about how helpful you find lesson
ideas in terms of your own health literacy work.  If you visit the site
(click on mini-grants to find the teacher/learner developed lessons),
then send me an email with your comments <skurtz@worlded.org>. 
 
- Sabrina
