New Fun Tech Resource

I have found a new online resource that is both free and fun. It is called glogster.com. It allows students to create online projects that include text, pictures, video, and audio. It reminds me of e-scrapping booking meets blogs. Check it out at www.glogster.com. Click on the edu tab for a free subscription and up to 200 free student subscriptions. Miss Rudolph and I plan to use it in the spring for Great Depression projects. When the projects are complete, I will let you know. Shelly

Third Grade Evansville Unit

I have been working with the 3rd graders for quite a long time on reinforcing their study of Evansville history. Today, we were blessed to have a group of senior adults come in for interviews about how life in Evansville has changed since they were children. It was a great learning experience for them.
