This site is sponsored by Xerox. It allows you to choose a card to send to our troops currently serving overseas. It is REALLY easy and VERY quick! Let's all show our support by choosing a card and a message to share with a soldier.

Media Festival projects

There are several classes working on Media Festival projects right now. Mrs. Stevens and her first block class have been working very hard on a cooking show project using MovieMaker. The class was split into four groups and they cooked one recipe of choice. Two groups made chicken alfredo, one group made pecan pie, and the final group made sushi! They did an amazing job documenting the process of cooking their dishes! The final videos will be linked here in the next day or so! I can't wait to see how they turn out!!

Ms. McCook's class also recently completed their Media Festival project about dolphins! They did an amazing job using video and iMovie. The narration was excellent, the video was wonderful, and the overall message was enlightening! I can't wait to see how well they do at the school and county competitions!!

If your class is working on anything for Media Festival, please let me know and I will showcase you on the blog. I will also come work with you class and assist in any way I can!! Let's see how much talent we have here at Bradwell!!

Technology club

Our technology club is up and running. We have several members that have shown interest! They learned a program called PhotoStory and have been coming into the media center in the mornings to work on their projects! I can't wait to see what they look like when they are done! Next up is PODCASTING! I am really excited to see the creativity of our students with this technology. Links to the projects are coming soon!

National American Indian Heritage Month

This month is also National American Indian Heritage Month. On display for this month are fact sheets that explain the origins of 28 different states with a basis in the American Indian language. I have also provided information sheets on totem poles, symbols, and the use of pictures in writing. Students can complete any of these to add to the display and receive a prize! We would love to see you come in and check these out!

November is Red Ribbon Month and the media center has a display dedicated to this month! We have facts about all different types of drugs on the windows and a display of different books that are able to be checked out. We also have a math fact sheet on the cost of smoking cigarettes. Send your students down to complete this sheet - one winner will be announced and recieve a prize!

National Potato Month

Really??? There is a month dedicated just to potatoes! I found out all sorts of information about the potato and have displayed it in the media center! There is another contest attached to this display and students or teachers are able to submit potato recipes. Any recipe submitted will be posted to the blog for all to try! Good luck!!
