Technology ideas:
Goals/Resolutions
Type resolutions/goals on a wordle www.wordle.net (can be published on a blog).
Take kids pics or use avatars and type goals/resolutions on Comic Life (can be published on a blog).
An example is below:
Use Motivator, Magazine Cover, or Movie Poster at www.bighugelabs.com to publish goals/resolutions (can be published on a blog).
Examples are below:
Put resolutions/goals on glogster. (It's an online poster where kids can add pictures/ video/ websites which needs to be shared online.) A GREAT IDEA FOR BLOGS :0)
Here's a link to the tutorial.

Reading
Record students reading (or reading a piece of their writing) in garageband as a podcast- continue monthly for a portfolio- export it as a quicktime movie or embed it in a blog.
Sequencing/Snowman
Make a flipbook showing how to make a snowman on bettonplay.... Another great idea for blogs :0)- Link: http://www.benettonplay.com/toys/flipbookdeluxe/player.php?id=307663
Goal for teachers:
Do a little dabbling in Google Apps :0)
