At the CSLA conference I attended a session lead by Jane Lofton about a 2.o tool called VoiceThreads. VoiceThreads is an online tool that allows you to upload photographs and many other types of documents and to add a voice recording to them. She showed us some examples of booktalks that kids have done. Here is an example if you want to take a look:

It seems like there are many different possibilities with this technology. I am really eager to find different tools to do online booktalks with kids. I'd love to hear any ideas that other people are using.

A little "light" reading
This image truly captures the magic of reading. I remember the inability to put down a really good book, sneaking a peek under the covers after Mom has left the room. That's how you know when a book is really good!
This is what we wish for all of our students/children...that they will find books that inspire and intrigue them...books that are worth staying up late to enjoy and escape into!
