WGS - Fantastic High Tech Readers

This month Walnut Grove School is participating in the Be a Champion! Read! contest. The classrooms are encouraged to participate by reading and decorating an area for their class. All of this in hopes of winning prizes, gaining knowledge and making reading fun.
With that said, I didn't plan to participate. Mainly because I am a computer lab teacher and don't have a homeroom class to fulfill the reading part of the contest.
Then it hit me. WGS needs a board to represent the "High Tech" ways in which we read.

Thus is born our board. "FANTASTIC HIGH TECH READERS - LEARNING IS OUR GOAL!!!"
Footballs highlighted with the following media types
(and examples):
  • Online Encyclopedias (Wikipiedia, EB Kids...)
  • Search Engines (Google, Kids Click, Bing...)
  • Online News (Time for Kids, al.com, CNN.com...)
  • E-Reading (iBooks, nook, Kindle...)
  • Online Libraries - AVL
  • Social Networks (blogs, wikis, facebook, twitter...)
Gathering information through electronic media is not only commonplace but is a formidable means of learning.
So get out there kids and read to learn!
