Re: [LM_NET] AR

["Thomas, Kim" <Kim.Thomas@USD453.ORG>]

Try gathering support from your faculty by getting them directly
involved.  Set up a publicized "friendly competition" among your
teachers to see who can earn the most points in a specific time period,
or who can earn a set number of points first, etc.  I've seen this done,
and the kids loved it.

Any great ideas on how to jump start the use of AR? This would be
strictly for incentive purposes. The kids just aren't reading and/or
making use of the AR software. In their defense, the majority of our
books have arrived only within the last three weeks. They have been
informed of the new books, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I've
thought about putting their pictures up for earning points  but was
hoping for something really creative and fun for the kids.
