Since I don’t have a classroom of my own to set up this year, I dropped into a friends classroom to offer my bulletin board expertise (I LOVE decorating for the year and begged for her to let me help). She is teaching first grade for the first time this year and wanted a fun theme. Dr. Seuss is perfect! I hunted down some good Dr. Seuss quotes that would tie in with what she wanted to display on the bulletin boards and we set to work pulling it all together. I think it looks great!  This is right next to the clock, it says "How did it get late so soon?"  Above the door to the classroom it says: Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.  This is the classroom jobs board and morning message board.  Over the jobs board it says: This mess is too big and too deep and too tall. But, we can clean it up! We can clean it up all!  Kings Kid is like a Star Student or VIP, they make a poster all about them to hang up for the week. This quote says: Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.  This is the reading corner, it turned out so cozy!  Another angle of the reading center with the Cat in the Hat on the back of a bookshelf.  On the closet door is Thing 2.  Horton is on the girls bathroom door.  Two fish is on the boys bathroom door.  The backside of two bookcases in the reading center.  This is where student work will be displayed. The quote above says: Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh the Thinks you can think up if only you try!  Front of the classroom with the Promethean board.  Back of the classroom.  Toward the reading center.  Teacher desk  It is going to be cute!My favorite touches in the room are that each bulletin board is designed for student interaction or to display student work or accomplishments. I can’t wait to see it when all of the student work is up! AdsSpy: 2 sites by this AdSense ID  AdsSpy: 2 sites by this AdSense ID  |
Posted: 20 Aug 2010 04:06 PM PDT  What it is: There is a new trend in reading: book trailers. It seems that lately book trailers are popping up on all of the video sharing sites. Digital Book Talk is a collaborative effort from the University of Central Florida where Dr. Robert Kennedy and Dr. Glenda Gunter have completed research on what motivates reluctant and striving readers to select, read, and complete books. “The student productions of DBT (Digital Book Talk) focus use the technological skills taught in the undergraduate Digital Media and graduate Educational Technology curricula that teach teachers how to create dynamic digital games, trailers, and Web sites. Many of these skills include research and writing, Flash animation, visual storytelling, video recording and editing, audio recording, graphic design, website development, programming, and database creation.” On the Digital Book Talk site, you will find high quality book trailers that will whet your students appetite for a good book. Students can search for books by content level, and interests. How to integrate Digital Book Talk into your curriculum: The Digital Book Talk site is an excellent place for students to start their search for a book that will hold their interest. Just like a movie trailer, the book trailers give students just enough information to leave them wanting more. The Digital Book Talks will help your reluctant readers understand the adventures that await them in a good book. Find a book trailer to introduce a novel that the whole class will be reading or set up classroom computers with a link to Digital Book Talk where students can be inspired to find their next read. After students read, they can create their own Digital Book Talks using video cameras or tools like Xtranormal, ZimmerTwins, or Kerpoof movie. A few years ago I had my students create bookcasts. These were the same ideas as a book trailer but instead of being video, they were audio podcasts only. I created a wiki where the students uploaded their bookcasts as they finished them. The wiki was a place where students could recommend books to their peers, demonstrate their understanding of a book, and find the next book to read based on a classmates recommendation. Tips: Be sure to check out the student work tab to see book trailers created by k-12 students around the country. Please leave a comment and share how you are using Digital Book Talk: Book Trailers for k-12 in your classroom! AdsSpy: 2 sites by this AdSense ID  |
