Dont' forget Media Monday is TODAY! February 27th at 3:20. I will be talking about the ELMO! (The digital document camera, not the small red furry monster!)
This week in the Media Center we will be doing everything Dr. Seuss style!
So come to the Media Center and you will see,
Things to amaze and do and be.
The K kids will see a book,
That will require a closer look.
It has pages that will pop,
It's by Dr. Seuss who's not a flop.
It has seven stories that are not true,
A fiction book that's even blue.
I may read it to the PreK as well,
For as a book, it's really swell!
In technology we'll visit his site,
www.seussville.com it is all right!
I've heard some discussions about the digital presentation project. You are on the right track! Keep it up!Here are some ideas for you to think about:
PowerPoint
Photostory
Story Bird
Prezi
Animoto
Kerpoof
Digitales
Flip video
Movie Maker
Virtual Field Trips
You can find links to many of these from the Technology Curriculum Live Binder: http://www.livebinders.com/play/present?id=127467
If you click on the tabs: Writing Resources, and Digital tools--creating content, you will find links to many of these tools. Take a look and let me know how I can help! Most of all, have fun with it!!
Today I'm ending with a quote from Dr. Seuss:

Happy Short week!
I hope everyone had great and informative conferences.
In the Media Center we had another sucessful book fair! The PTO has again graciously allowed me to pick out many books for our library. It takes me a while to get them ready for the shelves, but if you, as teachers, would like to take them out, that would be fine!
SIP Goal reminder:
Our "Groovy Goal #3" is: Student learning will be enhanced by the integration of technology into the classroom instruction by 100% of teachers as measured by a sysytem of technology check-out at least once quarterly (includes Elmo, Smartboard, Learn 360, etc.). Wth the support of the Media Specialist 80% of the classrooms will produce a digital presentation or project in a curriculum area. if you need ideas for your digital project, I'd love to help! I've found quite a few different things you could do with your kids!
This week in the Media Center I am reading "Just Like Abraham Lincoln" to the Kindergarten children. I will also be doing the draw-together Abraham Lincoln project, using the Elmo. For the Pre-K kids, I will be reading, the "Crocodile and the Dentist."
Weekly Joke:
Why did the guru refuse Novacaine when he went to his dentist?
He wanted to transcend dental medication.
