The 2014 Winter Olympics officially kick-off tomorrow with the opening ceremonies. Some qualifying events actually started today. If you're looking for some Olympics-based lesson plans, take a look at the things Pearson OLE is offering. On Winter Olympics with OLE you will find lesson plans for elementary school and middle school students along with profiles of athletes and countries competing in the Winter Olympics. 

Snowboarding and alpine skiing are currently featured in the Winter Olympics with OLElesson plans. Curling and bobsled lessons will be available shortly. 

The snowboarding lesson plan for elementary school students focuses on the creation of rules for sports and behavior of athletes. The middle school snowboarding lesson plan teaches students how a sport becomes an Olympic sport. The lesson plan concludes with students writing a persuasive piece for the Association of National Olympic Committees. 

The Pearson OLE alpine skiing lesson plan for middle school/ high school asks students to use Google Maps or Google Earth to look at the terrain of the Sochi Olympics, compare it to past locations, and propose a future site for the Winter Olympics. The elementary school lesson plan focuses on what it takes to become an Olympian. The lesson plan teaches students about the importance of setting goals.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
