My faithful bloggers include a lot of teachers. They faithfully, and gently, point out errors or omissions on my blog, as does hubby. It takes a village...
We teachers have spent hours reading essays, proofing, writing letters, writing newsletters, writing report cards, reading report cards, being edited by Principals for said reports.
We have helped shape many an essay or speech for students.
I spent a lot of time volunteering as an editor. As newsletter editor for my local teachers' federation, that was pressure. We teachers are the worst. It's like a flashing neon sign: ERROR!
I designed programs for school assemblies: Remembrance Day, December performances, Spring Concerts, etc. I wrote programs for a professional choir I was in, I also solicited ads for the Ottawa Choral Society programs.
Certificates: they are fun! I've created a lot of those.
I designed lots of other things: 'homework unfinished' sheets to send home on Fridays. I'd fill it in on a Friday, and staple it in their planners. Two per page, to save paper!
I designed a Novel Study assignment, with the evaluation integrated onto the page.
This is a guide for a student to write an 'Al' About Me' – AKA autobiography.
One year (2005), I taught at the Faculty of Education: Social Studies for Primary Junior student teachers. They were a tough audience, too! Designing web pages for information was fun.
Finally, forced to retire due to anxiety and depression, I found other things to do.
I wrote and edited quarterly newsletters for my hospice volunteer organization. It was interesting, and fun. It got me out of the house, and gave me a new hobby. I took photos, learned a new Mac program (Pages). An excellent way to stretch the brain. The ED hired a professional agency to do these newsletters. I only found out when we were sent a new newsletter in the mail. One which I had not written and edited. Seriously. This volunteer crap isn't for chumps.
So, I was on Twitter.... saw this handy guide. The OPP has a solid Social Media presence. They often Tweet out reports of closed roads, incidents, and detours from same. It's good information for those on the road.
