The Weekly Word

Hello People,

We are in the process of accepting submissions for the first issue through this week, until Monday, May 28. Please, if you would like to contribute your thoughts, reflections, ideas, suggestions, and/or vision(s), contact us at caperejournal@gmail.com. If you have questions or concerns about your submission, once again contact us at caperejournal@gmail.com.

As some of you are aware, Capere is incorporating as a non-profit entity. This process is in progress, so hopefully soon the powers that be in this great state of North Carolina will recognize us as such.

This journey began with a conversation between two little journalism teachers with big ideas, and it is going to turn into an actual published print journal... all because of you. Thank you for your support and your submissions. We are thoroughly excited.

Walk good.

peace,
alexis and sarah

This Week's Word - Submit!

Let's face it...you want to submit. You want to submit because you want to effect some sort of change. It may be a change in the entire educational system, a change in your district, a change in your classroom, a change in the greater community, or even a change in the way you view yourself as a part of this dynamic. You realize that you engage in society in the manner you do because you have something to offer. You are the compassionate warrior, and this your time.

We know, it is the end of the year, you are counting down the days...but what a great time to reflect?

Don't be shy. Commit. Submit. Send us your words. Commit to the mission to rebuild social capitol and create a new way for us to collaborate and innovate. Submissions are due to Capere, in exactly two weeks, on Monday, May 28. We await yours with bated breath...

In other "words..."

Google, our old best friend, has great resources available that are very teacher, educator, student, classroom, and community friendly. Check out The Infinite Thinking Machine, Google Gapminder (amazing), Google Librarian, and Google for Educators.
