Just checked it out - fantastic!! (And to show my appreciation, I gave you two examples on the blog from "The Raven")
(And if I've told my students once, I've told them a thousand times about how effective…

Wow! Fantastic analysis! This is going to require a few re-readings!

I LOVE Google Earth, and Google Sky, and Google Mars. I haven't quite figured out how to incorporate it into lessons though. How did you start using it in the classrom? did you find any resources online?

I tend to shy away from longer books, but the kids really want me to read "The Lightning Thief" aloud, before the movie comes out. (Yes, my class actually want to "read" the book before the movie!)
I've not read 39 Clues.

My list of favorites:
A Long Way from Chicago (and the sequel if the kids get into it: A Year Down Yonder)
Hoot
Loser (usually start the year with this one)
Crash
Ruby Holler
What's on your list?

What grade do you teach? I do the same thing in my 5th grade class. I tend to read the same novels aloud every year, so I know exactly where to stop to leave 'em hanging!

Agreed! Great resource! I think I can do what I want using that. Good find. =-)

Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Indiana.
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who have taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'connecting content and technology' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Alyshia Olsen
