Children's Literature Conference
http://literatureandweb20.pbwiki.com/
This is a great session. I need to investigate all of their links.
Wordle is not filtered, so it is more of a teacher tool.
One school has the kids copy/paste their writing into Wordle to see how often they use the same words in their passages.
Use surveys to select book awards.
Set up book discussion around Twilight.

Elementary & Diane Griffin/ graduate student, Georgia Southern University. How can
we enhance student learning using literature and Web 2.0? Two teachers explore this question in
their demonstration of the use of Web 2.0 tools to provide opportunities for students to respond to
6
literature, i.e., a discussion board to build ideas, a wiki to collaboratively construct information
and knowledge, a blog to publish and communicate ideas, and a Voice Thread to create book
talks. These and other tools will be demonstrated as a way to enhance student learning. GPS and
AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner will be addressed.

Children's Literature Conference
How to Get Middle School Boys, At-risk Students and Exceptional Education Students Interested in Reading.
Allyson Richardson/ Indian Creek Middle School. This presentation will
cover strategies that will help you reach adolescents who typically don’t like to read. The ideas
presented will be of immediate use once you return to your school or library.
She seems very unprepared. Special Ed teacher. She really doesn't have anything to say that is worthwhile. She uses AR, but I don't think she said anything new.
Idea - Millionaire's Club = Million Words - Number can be found in AR

Oh, Boy!
We went to Mama's today and when we came home the kitchen floor was flooded. We had already noticed the water hose outside had sprung a leak.
Anyway, the control box on the well had burned up. It would not stop running which caused too much pressure on the lines which cause one of them under the kitchen sink to pull loose at the pressure fitting.
Every towel in the house is wet from soaking up the water.
Ed will have to get a box tomorrow to repair the well. In the meantime we have no water. Sponge bath tomorrow.
To add to the confusion, we had to turn off the breaker switch to the hot water heater. Of course, it was not labeled.
Labeling those switches has to go closer to the top of the to do list. We have been saying we were going to take care of it for three years.
Thank goodness, Ed is not one of those type to get all bent out of shape. He is just teasing me about adding to his "honey-do" list.
