Looking for an author to come to your school check out the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators? The Illinois chapter has a Speaker’s Directory. It is broken down by areas of the state, Chicago Area, Northern Illinois, and Central and Sothern Illinois. For more info go to their website.
Speaking of writing, The Illinois First Amendment Center has many resources for teachers on the First Amendment. Among those resources are teaching curriculum, Tips for starting a school newspaper, a Freedom of Speech Poster Contest for grades 9-12 with a deadline of January 3, 2010 and a High School Newspaper Context with a deadline of March 1, 2010. Learn about the center and their materials at their website.
Do you have books that are falling apart and need repair? Do your students or administration produce information that would best be presented in a binding? The answer to these questions may lead you to a machine called Cover One. Central A&M schools have one and love it. Check it out at their website.
Technology anyone? You all probably know about the Illinois Learning Technology Purchase Program (ILTPP). The purpose of the program is to develop partnerships with suppliers to make available quality hardware, software, and peripherals to Illinois K-12 educational facilities. Catalogs are printed in April and October and are mailed to all K-12 schools, libraries, RPOE, and LTC’s in Illinois. Want more information check out the ILTPP website.
