**Slogan Ideas:** ** R.E.A.D.- Reaching Every Academic Dream **

__ **Elevator Speech Draft:** __

Two heads are better than one, right? The same goes for teachers. You and I working together as a collaborative team builds a foundation for bringing students into the world of 21st century learning at its best. Together you and I can co-plan, co-teach, co-assess, and co-reflect integrated and rigorous lessons. I will bring expertise about available resources, research methods, and technology skills adaptable for all types of learners. You will bring expertise about your content and student specific needs. Together we’ll become a powerful team that leads to authentic and motivating learning experiences. Let’s put our heads together and collaborate!

__**Marketing Tool Ideas**__ - I always like bookmarks for library marketing. They're useful, easy and cheap to mass produce and go with the reading theme. We can also do a wiki or some other web-based tool, but I think bookmarks are an easy, fun one to do. I like the idea of a bookmark over something like a brochure or flyer. Not only is it smaller (less paper = cheaper), but the book and reading connection make perfect sense.** I like the idea of a bookmark, but how can we make it different. not just any old bookmark. **

Here's one image I did - just starting to play around, but maybe we can get some ideas going... The image is nice, Carlene! I want to know how you did it. Are you just using Clip Art? We need to make sure it reads: @your library®. I tried adding the trademark symbol, but couldn't figure it out. Sorry!

The open book image gives me an idea about maybe including something on the bookmark along the lines of: "Just as books can open and transform your world, collaboration can open and transform your teaching." Too wordy? I like that idea! And I'll try to figure out the little R symbol. I just made this from a clip art picture I found in powerpoint. We can change the color or whatever. We also will need to include what the acronym stands for on the bookmark. I will do some more work on it. ** I tried to play with your image put I couldn't manipulate it, so i created something similiar **.

In addition to the bookmark I think we could incorporate the use of a Web 2.0 tool that could be used to create a marketing tool to present and/or email. Something along the lines of a Glogster Poster (I like that they're somewhat interactive) or an Animoto video (they can be peppy and visually interesting and I've become fairly skilled at their creation). Below is an idea of an acrostic approach to collaboration. I'm thinking it could be used for the bookmark and/or an Animoto video. I'm glad to hear that you're good at creating Animoto videos since we have to do one as or introduction! I have no experience with it, but I'm excited to learn. Have you done a Prezi? I'm not very good at it, but it might be a fun presentation for the Collaboration acrostic idea. At my school, we have a cutout that says READ going down. I made bookmarks out of it for my classroom. I scanned it and put it down by the other image. I think it might be cute - we could use it as an acrostic (Reaching every academic dream) and add @ your library at the bottom. I'm not sure if I like the open book better, though. We might could use it on something.

 * Ok guys which logo do we want to use? I want to use the logo in a big way on the prezi presentation. I like both of the open books. If you want to use the one I made, I can work on getting the "R" or "TM" symbol on there - and I might could change the color from green. Either one is good with me. Does one of them go better with what you have in mind? Also, do we need to somehow incorporate what the READ stands for? "Reaching Every Academic Dream" - maybe we could just put that line in quotes under the picture? It's all on my computer at home, so I can look at it later and re-post what I've done. **

 * Carlene, yours is fine, if you don't mind changing the color that would be great. The background of the the prezi is orange in the writing is blue. But whatever color you make it I can adjust the colors on the prezi. Ok - I'll work on it and post it later. I made a new logo - what do you think? I will still update the other one, too, and we can decide what we like best. **

I like the revamped logo with the shelving! It should look nice against an orange background. Seems to me including the entire slogan would be a smart thing to do.

**I LOVE the new logo with the slogan. I will place this into the prezi, I will try to have the prezi ready for your review on Wednesday**.
