Need something to do on the last day of school?

Stretching to keep your students occupied for the last day or two of school?  Let them make a to-do list for the summer!  Maybe a list of books to read while they're out?

Character Counts!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend a podcasting workshop with Tony Vincent.  It is always fun to hear Tony speak. He is an excellent presenter.  Tony has been at the forefront of podcasting since it started becoming popular in schools a few years ago.  He has worked with a school that creates "Character Counts" podcasts.  Click here, and listen to a few.  Then, have your students create their own "Character Counts" podcasts!  Tony's website gives you lots of information on podcasting!  Or, contact us, and we'll come and teach a podcasting workshop at your school!
