Announcing…

Published by Jane Smith at 8:51 pm under 3. ...Books, News

TA DA!!!! I realize that it is not a very Canadian thing to toot your own horn but…We are very excited to announce that our second book is now available through Scholastic’s Moving Up Literacy Place Series.

Our latest book is called Web Tools for Kids. We were so thrilled to finally see the book. When we last saw it it was a horribly marked up, edited to death Microsoft Word document. We had no idea what the layout was going to be or what the graphic design would look like. Nathan was particularly interested in seeing the final copy as he came up with the concepts for most of the cartoons that appear in the book.

This is a grade 6 level guided reading text. It is set up as a glossary/dictionary of different web tools. We have included information about blogs, wikis, podcasts, social networks and virtual worlds, to name a few of the topics that are covered.

We couldn’t resist taking this picture.  Scholastic had our books on display at a PD day for the elementary teachers in our board and there were our books!  Just squint, Nathan’s pretty helpless when it comes to using the camera feature on his cellphone.

    It truly is our best book to date! And the cartoons turned out really well if I do say so myself.

    There, I can toot my own horn as well.
