Winter News

I want to thank Mitchell Grushkin for donating $50.00 to the library out of his Teacher’s Choice money! What a great idea!

Learning at Lunch continues this year, thanks to Celeste for planting the seed! Mike, Gary, Lauren, Ciera, Danielle, Cheritha, Dave and I are all gearing up to share how we integrate technology and digital information into our teaching and communication.

2/3 will feature using video in the classroom: Ciera showing us Brainpop and Sara showing us Safari Montage. Come and you will start using video everyday to motivate good discussions and captivate your audience.

Please enjoy the Middle School’s booktalks on the library homepage at http://web.me.com/coralinej

Also–need a scanner? Room 310 set up the scanner just at the door and welcome (with a smile too, I am sure) you all to come use it. There is a document feed scanner in the library, tucked away now at Sara’s desk. That too you are welcome to use!

Twittering Just with 347 folks

Check out this new tutorial (sound-only until I upgrade to Pro) about how we can twitter just between ourselves.

Just click on any Twitter with @coralinej/ps347group and Follow that group (if you are not already).

When you write tweets for our school community, use the @coralinej/ps347group reply function so everyone in our group will see it.

Check out all those instructions on the following video screencast.
