News For Your Classroom

Simplifying a Complex Subject

Welcome back to the 2010-2011 school year!

We spent the summer working on 2 things:

1: Our book is finished and will be officially released next week, so watch for the next email.

2: We've created News For Your Classroom Discussion - Simplifying A Complex Subject.

You can find us at milestogodrugeducation.com/Twitterlog.html

On our twitter news page you can scroll through the posts, click and listen.

Each day we simplify current scientific news reports and studies about drugs, drug abuse and prevention on our twitter news page. These 140 character tweets are available below with their links.

Several times per month we will provide you with these drug fact updates as an audio podcast and blog which will be available on our website as well as itunes and podbean.

When you log on to this page you can view our daily tweets that we call daily drug fact updates. Use these real articles and studies as topics of discussion for your classroom, advisors' group, mentors' activities, health class, debate, homeroom, science, biology, human development, psychology, home school discussions, family conversations, faculty meetings, etc.

Substance abuse is one of the few subjects that involves many different disciplines.

a. For example it is social, cultural, biological, spiritual, psychological, medical, and historical.

b. This is why it can be integrated into many different subjects.

We think that drug prevention education should be about:

• Communication,

• Decision making,

• Problem solving,

• Family and general life skills.

On our website you can subscribe to itunes, podbean, twitter and our blog sites to have it sent directly to your email box or your ipod.

In addition to these free subscriptions an MP3 player will be available on our website located on the twitter news page. All you need to do is click and listen to get your news for discussions in your classroom.

Our expanded subscription service extra tweets, questions, and expanded discussion from Kelly & Jonathan about the subject and tweets that are not included in our free service. It’s like getting a mini lecture for your classroom. You can sign up for it on our web site’s twitter news page at milestogodrugeducation.com

Be sure to send us an email to let us know how you use this service.
