The time has come, once again, for us to explore the fabulous world of Storytelling! Every student in 3d, 4th and 5th grade will be reading and selecting stories to tell in the next few weeks. Our school classroom performances will be the last week in February, so that our school representatives will be ready to attend the BOCES Area Wide Storytelling Festival on March 18th in Pavilion. Student storytellers can explore some great storytelling resources at the following sites:
Story Cove - find some great stories and videos here.
If you are a student storyteller, and have some advice for your classmates, leave your recommendations below in a comment to help our your fellow students!

At the beginning of every school year, we try to review the rules of the library and in the classroom. We are beginning to use many new Web 2.0 tools like wikis and blogs.
Because of all of these new tools, it is ESSENTIAL that we develop rules to ensure that students stay safe, that we are all respectful of each other, and that we can find accurate and valid information when we are using the internet.
So, let's develop a list of "guidelines" or "rules" that we're going to use when using the internet, and any other "cyber" tools that we have. Write your rule as a comment to this post below, and let's start creating a safe world for everyone!

Many of the avatar creation sites that you might wish to use for your blog are blocked by the district internet filter. There are two super sites that you can use, that are still accessible to students, both of which you might consider.
One is myavatareditor.com, which creates Wii type images.
Another option is Build Your Wild Thing.
Try it!

It's here! We're going to start experimenting with blogging with students and teachers all over the place. Can you share an experience with us that would motivate our students and teachers to write online? Thanks for any feedback.
