Illinois Reading Conference--Literacy for Life

Jean Ann and I spent the last few days down in Springfield learning, presenting, and laughing! The Illinois Reading Conference is hands down one of the BEST conferences to attend in Illinois.  Jean Ann and I had fun presenting on...you guessed it... GAMES.  We had an awesome group! We ran out of room and handouts! If you missed it, or if you didn't get the handout, you can download the handouts here, and videos of the games we presented are below.

Stay tuned for more on the IRC conference later this week! Did you know that I am an Author Stalker? And I'm not alone....

Meaningful, Measurable, Manageable Goals Part II

Jean Ann and I would like to let you all know how much we've enjoyed going around the county and chatting with you about goal writing. We've had great conversations, fun presentations, and emailed questions that made us truly think! Keep the emails coming, and as always contact us with any questions!

Technology Blog!

Jean Ann and I have been getting a lot of questions lately about educational apps for classroom iPads.  While we have several that we LOVE, the best resource for this information is the technologically awesome Michelle George. She has a site Have You Tried Turning It Of and On Again??? that sorts not only iPad apps, but websites and other techno goodness into educational categories. There is also a search feature to speed up your browsing! So check it out!!!
