Where can we look up student email addresses for signing all of our students up for a blog or wiki?
Do we get a list from our media person or is it a formula or ?? I did it ? last yr at Anwatin and John McCreary helped me and he printed out a list for me.
Please give me any other advice you might have on having students Blog for the first time, directions, ideas, etc.
Merci,

Thing 5, Libraries online,etc.
I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as "ibrary cards". I am going to get one myself and learn about them. I like the idea of inviting a local librarian into my classroom to speak, and to "to sign up students for ibrary cards, talk about pubic library resources, and/or role play ways to approach a librarian and ask for help." What a great idea for the launching of my research project 3rd qtr. I also like the idea of adding a library link to my Teacher Web Page for easy student access to reliable resources.
I hope the MNLInk will be helpful to students in trying to access more resources and information for their project via online sources.
My frustrations with the libraries in my area are the short hours that they are open. I have gone to different libraries near my house several times over the last year and found them closed. I hope to see some more money going into our libraries in order to increase their hours of operation, especially more late night and wkend hrs for those who can't go during the day.
I want to find out which libraries have the biggest supply of French childrens books and was not successful in searching this information on MNLink. I have heard that the public library in Edina serves the French immersion school there and has a lot of titles, but I will have to contact them directly.
I have not used MNLink before but assume it will be helpful when I am searching for specific information /info on a specific topic.
Its always great to learn one more reliable resource outside of a regular "Google search".

Thing 4, Posting/linking daily lessons to my webpage
Which customizable homepage did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page?
I am going to use the mpls webpage b/c it is there and kinda set up, not b/c it is the best out there. I currently can't remember my username and password and until ?mon when i can email someone at mpls i can't work on my webpage.
The advantages to using this website are: 1.I have already been trained on how to use it, 2. I have my autobiography done in French and English, some pictures and some links available. The disadvantage is simply that I have not figured out how to keep the formatting when I import formatted documents to my website, this makes the quality of my site less than desirable as a finished piece.
Did you find a tool that has some uses for you at school or home? Which tool(s) would you recommend to others?
A personalized start page or "homepage" is something that I have never set up on my computers. It does make sense and I am going to try it. I use the computer more and more to check in on things- work, school, kids school activities, etc. I like the idea of having my daily interests all on one page in order to simplify and organize my searching and my updates.
How can the online calendars be useful to you?
I am trying to use the online calandar to help communication b/t my husband and I regarding our schedules for work, kids, activities, social engagements, etc. and my personal work mtgs, etc.
We have liked the calandars online especially b/c they can be accessed from anywhere and i like the color coding, etc. that makes it easier to read.
How would you compare and contrast the use of paper-based assignments and assigment notebooks to the potential use of online assignment calculators and to do lists for students?
This is an area that I really am interested in. I think it has huge potential for our students. My students need a place where they can check their work daily and where I can put up notes, etc. that were handed out when a student was absent/daily. What a great resource. My wonderings/questions are: how can I access a scanner that I can easily use on a daily basis to scan handouts that are not made on the computer- from a book or from an old lesson.
How do I manage a website that has everything I do daily in the classroom on it? It would be easier if I had more training and good ideas from teachers who have been doing this. Where can I start to list things for students? Is there one good website where i can find online templates that I can link to my school teacher page/my website? What is the easiest way to enter daily work, handouts, assignments and then link all of this to my current website??
