Download resource packs to add to your resource library. These are uploaded regularly, so check back often. These are not lessons, but are items that can be used to develop your own lessons on a certain theme. They can include; backgrounds, images, animations, flash files and more. They will load to your resource library in Shared Collections...Resource Packs...Pack name.

NOTE - Please make the school tech team aware that you have downloaded resource pack BEFORE your computer is reimaged each summer! There is a way for these to be saved to the network before reimaging and it will save all of us a BIG headache!

So far this week the BIG thing is RESOURCE PACKS... I will show all the ACTIVboard users how to download and import these when I return :-)

Keynote - Ron Clark

YEAH!  A chance to see Ron speak again.  This is GREAT!

Before he gets started I want to share two things with you about him and the Academy...

 

- He has started a resource website (available by subscription) which will launch in January 2009.  The cost seems low for an annual subscription and the resources look incredible.  CLICK HERE to get to the log-in/sign-up page.

 - If you have not seen the full interview of his students on CNN talking about their Election video, you MUST watch this.  It is on YouTube, so you can not view it from school since it is blocked, but is worth seeing it from home.  Take note of the students and their public speaking ability, this is one of the things Ron stresses at his academy, and it sure does make a difference in how his students handle themselves.  I know I would be nervous in front of a CNN report!  Click Here for the full video interview.

By the Way... His presentation was AMAZING as always! :-)
