    Some schools hold advisories first thing in the morning. Other schools might schedule a 20-minute advisory time between the second and third periods of the day. In one school, where the lunch hour comprises three 20-minute lunch periods (one lunch period for each grade 6 through 8), advisories meet for the 40 minutes of the hour when students aren't eating

      Check out the lessons about note duration and trainers for notes. Could be very useful with upper elementary and middle level students.
  • A downloadable offline edition is also available.

    Has some very good lessons on note duration, meters in music, and drills under "trainer" to help students learn notes.

    This is a great tool to use with music students of all ages. There are many written trainers (notes, guitar, piano, scales, etc.) and ear trainers (scales, intervals, triads, chords). I use it in class with my high school music theory students (particularly for ear training), and they can access it anywhere to practice.

  • “That’s the most exciting part for me, seeing kids excited about reading,” says Hamilton, who launched her program in November 2010 after learning about librarian Kathy Parker’s Kindle project at Seneca (IL) Grade School. “If we can spark or enhance that existing passion, that’s really what this is all about. It gives us another way to fuel the love of reading, while creating another way to learn and have fun. And that’s well worth the investment.”

      This is an interesting way to look at e-readers. We as librarians should always be looking for ways to encourage reading. The question becomes how difficult it might be to fund such a project. Several of my students have e-readers, but since they are all different it is hard to buy books that fit all formats. This is definitely a trend teacher librarians need to keep an eye on.

    This article discusses school libraries who are getting grants or finding other ways of purchasing e-readers.

    Earlier during the school year, I collaborated on a presentation to the community on what the Iowa Core Curriculum looked like and what effects it might have on the school and the community. My principal used Prezi as a presentation tool. I really liked it and thought the students might really like using it as well. As a PLC, we expressed the need for students to have uniform presentation criteria. Prezi might be one of those tools. Power Point might be great, but this online tool is available to everyone anywhere they have internet access. Groups can also collaborate. I was doing a unit with my sophomores on overcoming adversity. After watching the movie We Are Marshall, I wanted them to choose a real-life person who has overcome adversity. I wanted them to do a presentation and so I did one in Prezi as a demonstration. Mine is only partially done because I used it as a demonstration tool. I am going to try to share the file, but I do not know if it will work or not. I may have to post again to get it to work. http://prezi.com/-jght3tofk0q/red-dawson/
