I've been a classroom teacher for 11 years teaching grades k, 1, and 4. I switched jobs this school year 2007/2008, when an opportunity came up that I couldn't pass up. Now I'm the library media-specialist at a public school in Ridgewood. It's hard giving up the classroom however and I find myself missing it--sometimes.
Hi Lcarter. I teach in Illinois. The LRC director at my school and I are great friends. We can up with a project for macs that allows kids to do some lit centers about picture books and then once they have finished the required lit centers they get to podcast a book talk. Here is a link to a similar project I do in my 6th grade classroom http://web.me.com/mrsmorgan/Literature_Circles/Lit_Circle_Book_Talks/Lit_Circle_Book_Talks.html. Please email me if you would like me to send you the information, I am happy to share. We presented this at our state's tech conference this year and it was part of a $50,000 grant from the Secretary of State of Illinois.
