Wow! Great articles.
On Line Lit Circles - I have a friend that teaches 3rd grade in Birmingham Alabama. We team taught a regular ed classroom together for a year due to classroom constraints and we bought 3 sets of classroom books together. I emailed her after I read this article. I also sent her the article. I know we could set something up like this with one or all three of those books this year. Her 3rd graders are operating slightly below our 3rd graders and my 2nd graders are pretty much on grade level so I think it would work. How cool it would be for the kids to interact about a book and not just writing and sending pen pal letters.
The talking books sound so cool. I do power point presentations all the time to introduce a topic or to cover information. I used them much more in middle school than I do now but this idea may be a way to engage the younger students with these kinds of presentations. I love the idea and cant wait to find out how to use the audio and animation features of power point. I have never been successful with the audio part so power point.

Great - they are good practical articles that share ideas that can be very successful in the classroom. Can't wait to hear if you get it set up. We'll work on that audio in powerpoint - it really is fairly easy and doesn't take much time.
Hi Deb! I finally got around to checking comments and saw that you had left me a question! I went back to the article that I read and found a whole list of websites that we can explore for blogging. I'll make a copy of it and bring it to class Wednesday night. Have you had anytime to do some exploring on your own?
