Take a peek at the new Bluebonnets for the 2011-2012 school year in the Animoto video. Look for news coming home about Mrs. Littlejohn's Bluebonnet Breakfast Bunch. We will be meeting on a different day this year before school in the library. Come listen to some of the great Bluebonnet nominees read aloud!

This past spring I learned how to use this fabulous and fun Web 2.0 tool called Voki for Education. I love the fact that you can choose your character, dress them up, put them in your own setting, record whatever you would like your Voki character to say, and then share your message with your teacher, parents, and friends! I decided to use a Voki to share this message with students this year as they visit the library for the first time this school year. If you would like to create your own Voki, visit the website Voki for Education and create a free account. Vokis are a creative and technology-based way to share content from a research project, talk about a great book you've read, and engage those listening to what you have to share. Hope you enjoy my message and try out this cool tool soon!
