Around Christmas all the 2nd and 3rd grade teachers read "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" to their classes. We read a chapter a day and asked a trivia question the next day during the morning announcements. Correct answers were put into a drawing for a prize at the end of the day. I wanted to make even it more interactive, so I set up a blog for our school about the book. I had an open-ended question for students to comment on. There were also links to an online quiz for each chapter. No other classes ended up doing it besides mine, but it was a good first attempt.

I'm going to try starting my own personal blog for my own profession growth. I want to use a class blog for my students. I also have an idea to start a Professional Development reflection blog for our district. I'm going to ask our Asst. Superintendent in charge of professional development about it. I also want to use a class wiki to create class stories. We're going to try at least podcasting stories if not actual digital storytelling. We have one student computer in our room and a lab in our building that we visit for 60 min. a week, so it's a little hard to use the tools when access is limited. However, I'm going to give it a shot next year. Dear Yoda,
