This is another in a series of book reviews I do with my 3rd and 4th graders. They write and record their review and draw a self portrait to animate.

Hi Stephanie, Thanks for the nice comment. I've thought about doing some sort of "how to." I've tried to let anyone interested know the tools we use. One problem with doing a video is that I use several programs to get the look I want so it is kin...

Do you give lessons? I and another friend might be interested. We'd be willing to pay some. It probably would have to be a weekend. Barbara

Hey there, thanks for commenting on my 23 things blog. I LOVE your work. You have a fan club I am sure. Today I posted my first Seussian photostory (it's pitiful) on my # 21 posting. It was such a struggle, it makes me so impressed with what you accomplish.
Agrab.

Enjoyed your presentation last Friday at Library Expo. Didn't get a chance to get the handout because the movie ran over a bit. Can you send a soft copy to sonjastewart@lancasterisd.org?

I hope I have not overstepped any boundaries since I'm not a Texas librarian, but I just HAD to leave a comment about Doug's videos. They are hilarious, and I laughed so hard I actually cried. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! To everyone who took part in creating the videos, you did a FABULOUS job!!!!!

Glogster!

Most of you have probably heard of Glogster but if you haven't, I suggest you try it out! The .edu.glogster site is now private and is an amazing tool for student work. This year our school theme is Star Trek and I created a Star Trek themed Glog web for our school. It will continue to grow as the year progresses but if you would like to see it go to:
http://mckilloplibrary.edu.glogster.com/McKillop-Home/
I will be posting more book reviews there as we get into the school year.

Trying to get some needed classroom technology

My wife and I produced a video for the Interwrite Learning contest and lo and behold we are in the finals! This is a $15,000 contest to get her some badly needed technology for her classroom.
