Announcing the CLEL 12!

October 25, 2011 - 6:59pm — CLEL

Earlier this month at the Annual Meeting, CLEL launched a new project. It’s called the CLEL 12 and it was inspired by the Learning 2.0 Project “23 Things.” Designed in response to member feedback, the CLEL 12 is a set of early-literacy related activities you are invited to complete over the twelve months. The actions were developed as basic building blocks, to help you strengthen your role as an early-literacy advocate, increase your participation in the early literacy community, further your own professional development and education, and expand your knowledge of the CLEL organization.

Friday Funday (This Is Cool!): The Developmental Alphabet

October 21, 2011 - 12:00am — CLEL

Post by Lisa C.

This is a fun video on that animates each letter of the alphabet with unexpected words and excitement.  It's called the "developmental" alphabet: The B is made of a biscuit, and H is for Homer, as in Homer Simpson.  S and W are particularly cool! The whole video is very cute and entertaining.  I watched it several times because I couldn’t get enough.

Friday Funday: Muppets Theme Song As Performed By OK Go!

September 22, 2011 - 2:00pm — CLEL

Post by Lisa C.

OK Go is band that has some of the most creative music videos out there.  Now, they have teamed up with the Muppets to do a music video of the Muppet Show theme song.  They have incorporated aspects of their best music videos all into this one video with the Muppets.  I loved the Muppets as a kid and still love them as an adult, so this video made me feel good all over.  PS: I highly recommend you check out some of OK Go’s other videos.  It is worth your time.
