[LM_NET] HIT: Need help with BB caption

[Kathy Walker <Walker3715@AOL.COM>]

A couple of folks asked me to share so here are the suggestions I received 
for using old CD's on a welcome back bulletin board.  Thanks again to those who 
responded!

Hi Kathy,
Read your post on LM_NET.   
This may not help... but if she can come up with a frog related theme.. they 
make GREAT eyes for a large frog on a bulletin board. :)
Best wishes for a good year!

How about?

"Technology helps burn LEARNING on your brain!"  (Make flames leap from CDs 
to a brain graphic.)

OR

"C-D advantages to Technology?"  Display examples of cool tech stuff--digital 
photography, printouts of PowerPoints, website addresses/beautiful pages, 
pictures of items technology equipment such as projectors and microscopes and 
laptops, etc.) 

OR

"C-D FUN when you LEARN with technology?"  (Show smiling students engaged in 
various tech-rich learning tasks.  It would make it even more fun to use your 
real students to pose for these snapshots, too!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Has she thought about spelling out "welcome back" with CDs (or if she
doesn't have enough to do the words, using the CDs to highlight
different places on the words?)

I don't have a caption but an idea that I have seen used. They make great 
fish!  I have seen them hanging up (3 dimensional) from a string but you could 
put them flush, too. 
Parts are made of thin foam like material (or anything). Put a tail, top and 
bottom fins on it  Poke a fin through the hole. Put a button or "doll eye" on 
the front of the CD.

Hanging they were great for numbering tables, etc. Hang a small tag under the 
fish.

I saw your posting on LM_net about captions for Bulletin Boards.  You might
want to look at a website I created and tweak a few of the ideas to suit
your need.

The different "chapters" are accessible through the links on the left side
of the webpage.

Hope this helps.

Hey Kathy-
These are kinda corny, but...
"Let's Disc-uss Technology"
"CD's through the Schoolyear"
"Disc-ussion Board"
That's hard to come up with, but I bet it will look great and what a good 
idea to use up all those old discs!
