Does anyone have a rubric they've used to assess glogs created by students? I'm working on putting one together, but it's always nice to have an idea of what others have done to make sure I haven't…Continue

Have any of you ever done a letterboxing project in your classroom or library? I think it could be a really cool, educationally sound, cross-curricular project, but I wanted some advice from someone…Continue

I would love more information about specifically using Aviary in the CSI unit if you wouldn't mind. What information did the students include in their report?
Megan Siemens replied to Geetanjali Dewan's discussion 'social bookmarking such as delicious and how it helps us teachers'
I too love Delicious, but I'm a little less discriminating (I'm working on it though) because I often add sites I want to check out later or that I think may come in handy for one of my teachers later. I'm a librarian, so I try to…

Megan Siemens replied to Darcie Priester's discussion 'Glogster'
I'm working with my school's government teacher to possibly use glogs as campaign posters for the mock presidential election he has at the end of the semester. Students will be able to include their stance on all the issues they're…
Megan Siemens replied to Meghan Connelly's discussion 'Any schools want to collaborate with a CT middle school? In the US or International!!'
I have one of my speech teachers looking into using this forum as a weekly or bi-weekly assignment. He's starting it out with them discussing in their own class, but I think that later on we may want to try collaborating with other classes. Is…
Megan Siemens replied to Rhonda Crim-Tumelson's discussion 'Librarians Group' in the group Librarians
I'm Megan, and I'm a teacher librarian at a small 7-12 school in Indiana. I've only just moved into the librarian position, so I'm looking for new ways to integrate Web 2.0 tools throughout the curriculum and I'm working on…
Megan Siemens replied to Carolyn Foote's discussion 'Book recommendations?'
It's touchy in my library since we're 7-12. All of our students are required to read 2 novels of their choice from their reading list each grading period and take the corresponding Scholastic Reading Counts quiz. I've basically…
Rob Culp replied to Megan Siemens's discussion 'Letterboxing in the Classroom'
I have never done letterboxing, but I have done geocaching, (www.geocaching.com) which is very similar. With Geocaching you need a GPS. A handheld GPS gives you your exact latitude and longitude. There's a video about how to do it on their…

Letterboxing is like a scavenger hunt. As a hobby, people hide "letterboxes," which are waterproof containers that contain a rubber stamp and a notebook, out in nature somewhere. Then they post clues leading to the letterbox online (at…
Megan Siemens replied to Carolyn Foote's discussion 'Book recommendations?'
My recommendations come as the librarian for a rural 7-12 school who is also an English teacher. I see a lot of students checking out or carrying their own copies of books by Ellen Hopkins; I wouldn't use them in a classroom because…

Letterboxing in the Classroom
Have any of you ever done a letterboxing project in your classroom or library? I think it could be a really cool, educationally sound, cross-curricular project, but I wanted some advice from someone who had already done it. Any ideas for me?

I think that this sounds like it could be a really neat project when it comes together. Although I don't have a suggestion for a template, I would love to know how this works out for you.
