Thing #16

I enjoyed reading http://teacherlibrarianwiki.pbwiki.com/Must+Have+Graphic+Novels+Secondary
I hope I will be able to get some of those graphic novels for my classroom.

I'm planning on using http://teacherlibrarianwiki.pbwiki.com/Cool+free+tools
in my personal and professional life. I hope to share these with my students too.

I wonder if as a school we could do something similiar to http://booklovers.pbwiki.com/Princeton%20Public%20Library. Maybe we could make it a contest between grades.

I'm thinking this would be a great option for our advisory period. How could we make it work? We could use the computer lab for two advisory classes and then rotate the classes out each month. http://www.gcflearnfree.org/

I'm wondering if the students would like this website. Would they be more motivated to take a quiz on line? Would it help prepare them for other testings that are experimenting with online testings and scoring? http://www.classmarker.com/

I think it would be awesome if our school had a wiki site. I think the students would enjoy it and it would be a good way to keep the parents informed too. I don't completely understand how to set it up ; I wish they had step by step directions somewhere for us technologically challenged but interested. I like d looking at this sample http://westwood.wikispaces.com/

In the sandbox, I heard about this interesting website. I went on it and created a hero. I'm thinking that it could be intergrated into a writing assignment. However, I couldn't figure out how to save or print it. http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heromachine/classic.asp

I've started a ning for our school so that teachers and students can share and discuss books. Hopefully, you'll find it useful. I'm getting it polished up and will invite everyone to join before school starts. Wow - you are moving along fast!

Thanks for the great URLs. I am going to add them to my del.icio.us! I think kids would enjoy taking online tests, but better even might be to have them create a test that you would take. In order to create it, they have to know the information, you know what I mean?
