    This is a site designed to help boys/guys find something to read. We have an abnormally high number of boys compared to girls at our school, and not all of them love reading. This site is a great way to steer them towards something they might like. Most of the contributors are male authors, and they serve as great examples for my students of guys who like to read and write.

    Read the highlighted sections of this report. Research is finding the connection between neuroscience and education that can benefit student learning. THis research suggests students with dyslexia who utilize their right brain tendencies (which suggests to me the creative side of the brain) can make improvements in comprehension. I would like to read more studies on this effect!

    I am using this resource to help me implement a new 90 minute reading block in my classroom this year. It gives resources for use with parents as well as things to use in your classroom. There are printable schedules and activities for use in planning and teaching reading.

    This would be a fun resource for students for something like writing an article or book summary. They can write a very succinct "newspaper" article, save the resulting image, and then students can read summaries written by classmates.

  • “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.

  • Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus Use these techniques to locate authors: If looking on the page doesn't reveal an author's name, look on the Web site. Try truncating the url to see if there are clues about authorship or links to an author on other pages--remove the end of the address back to a significant break ( / ) or the root of the site. If the site provides links to 'about us' or 'contact us,' check there for author information. If the site provides a search engine, enter the name of the article and see if information about the author is retrieved. This may require careful reading. Search a different site. Enter information about the article in search engines like Google and see if any information about the author is retrieved. This may require careful reading.

    This tool allows your images to "talk" in that you upload pictures, choose where you want to place a mouth and then choose your audio (phone, microphone,etc). Easy to use with laptop microphone. Great for word study, kids that need audio with text. Fun!

    This class has been my first experience with Moodle, and I'm loving it! Just a few years back, I would have been the first to argue that an on-line class could NEVER be as effective as a face to face class. I'm eating my words, now! Not only am I finding Moodle to be a very effective "container" for a class, but I'm even thinking that in several ways, the on-line experience is better than the face to face would be. I really want to explore this site further, and learn for myself how to use Moodle to deliver class content in an on-line environment, rather than a face to face environment.
  • Kelly Josephson on 22 Jul 10
     
    Julie, I have been thinking many of the same things. As a staff, we were introduced to Moodle several years ago. However, with very little instruction on how to do it, it didn't go very far. I too LOVE the idea of using moodle as the 'container." I have often thought that if we did the "dirty work" in the classroom - like the reading, the researching, etc, then the students could go home and do the fun stuff - like commenting in a blog. Would that not seem like homework? Thanks for thinking the same things.
