I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy with my Honors Freshmen. It's very stark and a little disturbing, but it is also a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by a contemporary author. The students were very engaged and I couldn't keep them from…

I use the Reader's (and Writer's) Workshop Model in my classroom, so my students are given the opportunity to choose their own classroom novels.  These students are 16-20 (alternative high school), so their choices might not be…

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak is amazing! Written for adults, but marketed as youth lit. in the US.

McCarthy's The Road went over exceptionally well with my 11th graders; The Curious Dog in the Nighttime went very well with my Honors English II (they liked that the narrator had Aspberger's) ; and my lowest level students love All Quiet…

The Book Thief is an amazing story which is told by Death! It's about a German girl growing up in Germany during the second world war. It has powerful themes about doing the right thing, amazing language, and great historical references. I…

Kite Runner for 16yrs and up has wonderful results for me in the classroom. The author also has wonderful podcasts on his site about the writing process. Its not for all districts but if you have an open admin it opens so many doors and helps…

Some other graphic novels I have come across are: American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang Persepolis and Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi The two by Satrapi are filled with a tremendous amount of historical information which may seem overwhelming,…

Giddy about learning

Posted on September 24, 2007 at 4:45am 0 Comments

(Cross posted at www.futura.edublogs.org)

I feel like a giddy schoolgirl this morning–just having so much fun interacting with other educators around the world who are also giddy about what they are doing.

While most of us in the U.S. were sleeping, Jeff Utecht of Thinking Stick in Shanghai was testing out a new site called…

NECC 2007 to......2008

Posted on June 27, 2007 at 12:06pm 1 Comment

Though my blog has had a meltdown the last two weeks, I HAVE been blogging Necc 2007 on a site called tumblr, which is very handy for quickly posting things.

IF you want to check it out, or read about some sessions at NECC, check it out at www.technolibrary.tumblr.com.

It's been great getting to meet people in person, get inspired, and meet new people.

We're leaving and heading back to campus with a plan to start a women…

Blogging central for NECC

Posted on June 26, 2007 at 3:43am 0 Comments

I think it would be great to have a "blogging central" site for NECC--sort of like LeaderTalk where you could go and read a lot of different impressions of the conference, all in one place.

With so many people posting on their own blogs, but all of us at the conference, it's hard to keep up, so it'd be nice to have one spot to post things, read things, keep up with "not miss" sessions.

Idea for next year?

365 days

Posted on April 9, 2007 at 6:28am 2 Comments

Over at the Library 2.0 group, Libraryman(Michael) who is a power Flickr user, posted a great idea that I wanted to share here.

He's starting a 365 Library Days project, where you document your library for a year, and post 365 photos to the Flickr library group.

I thought this idea had a lot of connections for Classroom 2.0. What if we contributed 365 photos to a classroom 2.0 group on flickr? Or just took this idea back to our individual schools?

More on my…

Hi Carolyn. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi... I saw your not-so-recent post about Book Reviews where you mentioned you'd soon be starting one. I was wondering if you had because I'm starting a similar project at my middle school and I'm looking for great examples. Thanks!

Hi,I have just joined the group (about 30 minutes ago) and I'm very excited about getting a presentable site together.  I love your site and I love the ideas you have presented here in regards to Web 2.0 in the classroom and as a teaching and motivational tool. 
I am a grad student at FSU and also a brand new school media specialist, as I will be opening up a brand new school this fall.  I am doing a project in one of my classes this semester that calls for me to interview a school librarian using new technology.  Would you at all be interested in this?  I would love to interview you...it should not be a long interview.
Thanks for your time.  I hope you don't mind that I left this in your comment wall...I didn't see an email link.

Thanks for inviting me to be your friend! I'm thinking a great deal about what will motivate my students who find reading difficult to read, knowing that the best way to find reading less difficult is to practice it. I think I need some high interest, short books to get their attention, and maybe just 4 or 5 titles that some of them could read and discuss together. What do you think?

Thanks so much for getting my class involved with Reading is Fundamental!! And for the support you and your staff give to the reluctant readers in my classes.

Patrick, that would be fine! I was concerned I had gone on a little too much about it. Glad it was useful!
