Sony - Children's Headphones - Black/Silver - MDR222KD/BLK - 0 views

  •  
    I found these at BestBuy when I was I looking for an alternative to ear buds for my little ones. What caught my eye was the reviewers comment about a teacher considering adding them to her classroom supply list. I found them at MacMall for $9.99 with free shipping http://www.macmall.com/p/5784594?dpno=7932923&source=zwb12166 "Have you considered", pitching this to some of your teachers? ;-)

    Hey Have you tried any of these webinar sites? Rt

    Rt - I took the "Day in the Life of a Gaggle Student" webinar. I later contacted the webinar team and asked for a copy of the presenter's notes. They sent a PDF "Getting Started with Apps Guide.pdf" highlighting the newest Gaggle Apps. I'll post it in our Google docs for you to take a look at. I'll email it to everyone but here is the link if you want to dive right in. https://docs.google.com/a/buffaloschools.org/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_w6YKU5SNpCYzE4M2FiZjUtZjYzYy00MGUxLTg0NmEtZWRlZDYzOWFkOTYx&hl=en&authkey=CNOQkf8H

The Site for Books & Readers - Shelfari - 4 views

  •  
    A powerful tool for students. Shelfari integrates reading and social networking. Readers list books they have read, are reading, or want to read "my wish list" - can you say reading logs? The members home page can be configured to look like virtual book shelves. Members can read and post reviews; join groups and communities. In my opinion the ultimate use for shelfari would be creating book clubs, making it a quick comprehension tool.

    I am glad this site was useful to you.When I found this site, I thought it was such a great alternative to the standard book report that I dreaded as a child. I will be meeting with some teachers to see if this meets their needs in terms of reading logs. I hope so. This is the direction we should be heading. On line reading logs. Yes !!!!
