Hi Mary: Angie Adams, middle school teacher here, divided up her 7th grade English class to create a presentation re: a novel they had read. The students worked in pairs and each pair needed to address a chapter of the book with music and graphics of some sort –basically anything else that was creative and represented the action of that chapter. E-mail Robert; he may be able to give you more particulars since he was in that class. From what I saw, the kids got quite creative– including the not-so eager students. K

I can’t answer your questions but I do know that an MP3 player is easier for me to use than my iPod! I have a $29 MP3 player by creative and I received my iPod nano as a Christmas gift. I need to learn to use my iPod before it becomes totally obsolete!

I am trying to use the internet more and incorporate it into the curriculum.
The goal is to identify sites with materials that will help the students achieve their educational goals, beyond being stuck with a book. There is so much help available on the internet.

Started a blog. Will have students posts their answers in an effort to improve their writing skills.

All for now.

Have you tried your local library to get free downloads? I get books on tape for my MP3 player and they also have music.

Interesting about audible — I could not get it to work on my Sansa e250, so I just searched for another source of content.

Have you looked at voicethread? I have seen some nice work on that and it is free for educators

Hi Mary,

This looks great. I cannot wait for you to share how to use movie maker. I was thinking that it would be a great tool for my heritage project.
