This is the 999th post to Nick’s Bytes. As I promised, the next post—Number 1,000—will be a party! Alex and I have been working on that post for a couple of weeks: it will be filled with out favorite posts, photos, cartoons, jokes, etc.
Please join us on Saturday, June 28th. Any time is fine. Please bring a comment regarding Nick’s Bytes (like what you like and don’t like or maybe suggestions for the next 1,000 posts) and as many friends as you can. OK? (I writeded the ‘OK.’ OK? ~ Alex)
My son, Nick III, is home schooling his children—my grand children. When we dined together on Father’s Day he asked me if I would be willing to teach the kids history. Of course, I agreed!
We decided that I would create lessons and email them to the kids. After giving it some thought, I decided to create video lessons supplemented with text, photos, Power Point presentations, field trips, and whatever creative idea I/we develop as we continue this exciting (for me) schooling.
With Independence Day coming up, I decided to begin the classes with American history. Below is the beginning/end of my first video lesson—minus the boring history stuff, of course:
If you have any teaching ideas or resources, please share them. OK? (I, not Alex, wrote that OK).
