Letter+from+the+Editor

Greetings!

 This edition of the ASD Upper Elementary School-Tacular Online Magazine is especially school-tacular because we've had a school-tacular staff of 15 students--boys and girls--in grades 4 & 5 this time round! They were busy this trimester interviewing campus celebrities, setting up interviews, taking pictures, taking videos, editing, and organizing just about everything there is to organize when it comes to running a school magazine. The students worked with partners--and they got along and collaborated so well! Kudos to our Online Magazine staff!

 Regarding the format of our magazine, we've continued to use Glogster Edu, a web 2.0 application endorsed by the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE). Glogster and our own creativity are responsible for the interactive format of the magazine. We've also continued to embed our Glogster poster in a wikispace, a format that is familiar to many of us in the ASD community. We sincerely hope you will enjoy what we've created after 8 weeks of hard work.

 Please be sure to look for our next edition of the magazine, which will be released at the end of the next trimester.

 Until next time,

 Ms. Inge  Editor and Advisor
