Homer's Odyssey on Twitter

I'm laughing so hard I can hardly breathe!! Check out this version of The Odyssey done in Tweet format! Some inappropriate comments but would SO be a hit in a HS classroom:

Visual Grammar lesson for HS history

This amazing lesson on deconstructing WWII posters is British but would be a great additional to a HS (or advanced MS) history class: http://aspirations.english.cam.ac.uk/converse/movies/visual_grammar.swf . Kids get to look at WWII propaganda posters and decide which emotions are being appealed to (excuse the passive voice!!) by each one.

Gcast - instant podcast from your classroom!

Have your students give a daily recap of what they learned, podcast directly from a field trip, or say pretty much anything on an insta-podcast! All you need is a cell phone. Check it out at gcast.com. I plan to use this w/ my first-grade gifted and talented program; at the end of each session, one lucky kid will get to give the daily diary of what we did, plus one other shout-out they feel like doing!

Hey Kelly, I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago but I'm not sure you're getting any of them from me or that I even have the correct address. Also posted to your FB wall...

Can you confirm that you got the email? Thanks!!

Hey Kelly - can you post your street lit links in the A lit discussion forum and maybe copy and paste them in the librarian group. Those resources are too good to get buried on the comment wall! Hope you're cool! RRG:)

Hi Kelly,
It looks like we should have a more substantive conversation - I'd love to know more about all of them. I'll be at ALA until July 15th - can I call you after that?

I'm interested in use of media, Web 2.0 for curriculum-related purposes - what kind of projects/activities are you doing related to reading, information literacy...or ?

Kelly,
It sounds like you're a school librarian - I'm looking for stories about use of media by school librarians for a chapter I'm writing...?
