The Great Park Pursuit
By Deanna Stall on May 8, 2009
This would be a great adventure for families as well as classrooms!  Check out http://www.negpp.org/!  there is a challenge there to visit all of the 15 listed Nebraska state parks!  If you want to participate, you must register there on the web site. 

This might be a great summer project to continue to engage students in Nebraska Geography! Have your own Great Park Pursuit!  Challenge your next group of students (any age would love this) to get to as many of Nebraska's parks this summer as they can.  Once they get there, have them take a picture of the park sign and two more pictures from inside the park.  They must then email those pictures to you, the teacher.  You can create a map in Google Earth and mark their travels using the pictures they took!  This would also make a great competition between class sections or maybe between conference schools!  (They could even use their cell phones and send those pictures if your cell plan will handle that!)

Most importantly, encourage your students to get out and enjoy Nebraska's state parks!

Chapter study guides
By Rod Havens on March 19, 2009
OK folks, let me know what you think.  Rather than the plain old paper and pen, chapter-by-chapter study guides for a novel, what would be the best resource to start doing this online? Blog? Wiki? Social network site?  Specific web site suggestions welcome.  Thanks!

Guys!  How do we allow multiple students to log in on Animoto?  I tried just logging them in under my username/password, but of course that doesn't work because their videos overlap as they're creating them.  For this program, would it be okay if they log in with their own names and e-mail address?  Dee

Rod Havens on March 19, 2009
I don't see why not.  Is there a risk of them running into inappropriate content? Always a sticky spot, but a teaching moment I guess.  I say go for it.

Shantel Eatherton on March 19, 2009
Cool you are using it already, Dee!  I'm with Rod, I don't see why they couldn't use their own, unless your specific school would have a policy about it. 

Rod, I think the idea Sharon (I think) had about setting up the "basics" on her wiki spaces page and having the kids fill in the details sounded great!

365 Photos!
By Deanna Stall on January 7, 2009
This looks like a great project and would be fun to do with your
students.  The idea is to take a photo each day!  You could gear this
toward a certain type of curriculum or theme if you wanted!  The kids
would get into the routine of this and you would be pulling out that
camera more often!  For more on this project go to:

Class2Home
By Jason Everett on December 8, 2008

Fablevision's Stationery Studio is an extremely popular writing, handwriting, and word-processing program geared for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. It’s also popular among middle school students and grown ups too, using the program for letters, signs, cards, and writing projects.

Some schools may opt to mark up the price to help with PTO fundraising, or to subsidize the program for low-income families (i.e. free and reduced lunch program students) while others are free to resell at the same low price. Most schools participating in this or similar programs utilize a revolving account of some type in keeping with the financial requirements of the school district.


Are you interested? Please let us know at your earliest convenience!

How it Works:

  • If you’re interested in participating in Class2Home, please contact Carol Donahue, Director of Learning Solutions by email (carol@fablevision.com) or call 781.742.0306.
  • We will ship out in increments of 10, and require payment (purchase order or credit card) prior to shipping. The school is responsible for shipping charges.
  • The standard retail price of Stationery Studio (single license) is $69.95. The Class2Home version will be available for $10 each (set of 10 for $100.) plus shipping and includes the CD-ROM only. No book or box is included.
  • When promoting this program to your school community, it’s imperative that students and families understand the Stationery Studio Class2Home version is absolutely for home use only.
  • Schools are required to provide the name and address (and email if available) of each student family that purchases Stationery Studio for future software upgrades and upcoming downloadable templates. We also need to know if the student has access to a PC or MAC at home.
  • Please Note: This offer can be withdrawn or changed at FableVision’s discretion.
