Image Chef

Posted in Technology Resources on February 29, 2012 by

Image Chef is a fun website you can use to create customized images.  Creating an account is free, and once you have an account you can save your images there until you are ready to use them.   There are several templates to choose from, and you can even create your own template.  The possibilities are endless…have fun!

Novels Sets

Posted in Our Library on February 24, 2012 by

We have several novel sets in the library.  You can check ELM Library Novels for a full listing and for quantities.  Some books have audio CDs available as well.  If you see a picture of musical notes in the “Audio Available” column that means we have the audio CD.  If you are interested in checking some out please stop by the library or email Ms. Gonzalez.

Storybirds

Posted in Technology Resources on February 21, 2012 by

Storybirds are short, art inspired stories you can create to read, share or print.  Storybirds are a great way to motivate students and inspire reluctant writers to create their own stories using pictures.  The artwork featured on the site is beautiful.  I used Storybirds to create some of my promotional library commercials.   It’s free and easy to use.  Visit the Storybird website to sign up!
