5 Tips for using Text Messaging to Teach ESL
source: http://www.ehow.com/how_4995209_use-text-messaging-teach-esl.html
1. Create your own word-of-the-day service. Send your students one new word every day. Make the word meaningful, not random. Relate the words to the current lesson plan. For example, if the current lesson is about weather, send weather-related words or phrases.
2. Text message grammar tips. Have your students text you back about their day using that grammar tip.
3. Text message conversational tips. For example, if your students work in restaurants, text message them phrases that they can use at work.
4. Have your students text you messages using the word-for-the-day. Texting is a good way to encourage students to begin writing.
5. Introduce text messaging casually. It is just one tool for teaching. Make it meaningful and you and your students will learn and have fun.

National Literacy Month--Partnership Between Libraries State Parks
It is not too early to start planning for National Literacy Month. International Literacy Day is September 8. Most programs have expanded the day and hold activities throughout the month. The Florida Governor's wife spoke at a Florida State Park last year.
You may want to consider partnering with public libraries this year. The state park system will waive park entrance fees again Sunday, September 8 and on Veterans Day, November 11.
