Levelled Books Online - 1 views

    Has anyone seen this? Interesting, leveled books using F+P, DRA etc, running records, teacher has the ability to assign books to the class and manage some data. They also have books available for the Ipad. Is it something we should look in to?
  •  
    I used this for a week during Teacher Appreciation when it was free. It's pretty cool. So many levelled books
  •  
    I used it in Newton with students on IEPS for reading....I found it particularly helpful for fluency as it models the reading for kids. The books are also pretty high interest as far as online readers go. The price is also not awful considering what other like programs go for.

Booksource's Classroom Organizer - 1 views

  •  
    Classroom Organizer is a web-based program that allows users to maintain and inventory books in their classroom library. I used this with my 7th graders last year and they loved it. I purchased an inexpensive scanner, scanned all of my books into the free database, and showed the kids how to check out and return books. You can set up the books to show the lexile level, AR level, and various other data fields. You set up how long the check out time is, and you receive an email when books are overdue. It is by far, the MOST AMAZING classroom library organizer I've ever used, and it is my number one recommendation for any teacher with a classroom library.

    This looks great! How much for a scanner?
  •  
    It cost me just under $30 for a scanner. I got it online at Amazon.com - http://tinyurl.com/7tf8xcq

Leveled Book List - 1 views

  •  
    This is from Acton Public. A good reference for parents. These lists have been developed for two reasons: for parents who have requested help in finding books at their child's reading level. for teachers who have requested a leveled book list or have asked for help in their effort to build a leveled library in their classrooms. I have tried to keep the lists to books that may be available at the local library or at a book store.

  •  
    GoogleLitTrips, a website that creates google "trips" for books where the characters travel or experience different places. Create your own to help students understand the geography of an area
  •  
    This is so COOL!!! I need to pick your brain about this one. Is it limited to just the books they have on the site?
  •  
    scot, you can use google earth to make a "lit trip" for any book - or you can use (and edit) ones that people have uploaded to the site. "lit trips" are google earth "tours". i've proposed that gr 4 use a "tour" when they do their hot air balloon project.

Family Diversity Projects :: Technical Specifications for Our Exhibits - 0 views

  • Physical description Each exhibit comes with approximately 20 photographs. They are all museum quality framed with plexiglas covering, wires on back to hang. Size of each photograph framed is 16 inches by 20 inches and they weigh approximately 2 pounds. They can be hung on walls or portable room dividers, or placed on tables with bookstands (or table easels) or on floor easels. You can use all of them in one place, divide them into separate showings, or whatever works for your space needs. We can talk to you specifically about your individual situation. Each exhibit has different configurations of text, but generally each photograph has one or two pieces of long interview text 11 inches by l7 inches (vertical). They are thickly laminated and have string on the back to hang them on walls under or alongside their matching photograph. They can also be placed flat on a table if you use tabletop easels for the photographs, or hung off of floor easels. Many exhibits have additional "quotes" that are 11 inches (wide) by 8 inches (hung horizontally) and are written in larger fonts. These can be used in addition to the longer text, for people who might not read the full text, or in place of the longer text depending on the venue and situation (i.e. a conference). For schools, you might not need to use the quotes. It is up to each venue to decide how to use the text. In Our Family exhibit also has a K-2 text, which is also 11 x 8 inches and has a simple description of the family structure in age-appropriate language. Nothing To Hide just has 2-3 quotes per family, rather than a long text. For complete texts, the accompanying books have the longer interviews available. How to display the exhibits It's actually quite simple and doesn't take long to do. With all our photo-text rental exhibits, the photos and text are ready to hang with wires on the back. If you have wallspace, you just hang the photos and text as you would any art show, using nails or pushpins. Ideally, if you have a gallery space, you would have at least 60 linear feet, but this isn't a requirement at all. You could double hang the photographs. Some groups divide up the 20 photographs and put them in different areas of a building as well. If you use tables, you will need small table easels to hold the photographs and you can put the text right on the tables. Floor easels can also work, and we've even seen music stands used. Some folks rent or borrow room dividers/portable bulletin boards and hang the exhibit on both the back and front of them. (They must have wood backs, not corkboard, as the photos weigh about 2 pounds and you need the nail to go in solidly). We are happy to talk to you about your individual situation and make suggestions, as we've seen it all!
