[CASL-L] Middle school course ideas

[Cheryl Robertson]

Hi Tom,
What an equally wonderful and overwhelming opportunity!  I do research and
digital citizenship units.  While they're not half-year designs, they
certainly could be.  Reach out if you'd like more information.  My number
is 203-214-3417.
Best,
Cheryl
