			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" src="http://blogs.chatham-nj.org/eyates/files/2009/12/icdl_logo.thumbnail.gif" alt="icdl_logo.gif" />Today&#8217;s post is a bit of a blend between Media Monday and Website Wednesday.  Imagine old-school media like BOOKS brought to life through technology.  The <a href="http://en.childrenslibrary.org/">International Children&#8217;s Digital Library </a> allows you and your students to browse and read any of the 10,000 books in about 100 languages online.  The site even has a number of <a href="http://en.childrenslibrary.org/books/activities/index.shtml">suggested activities</a>, so your students may use the site independently or as a group.</p>
<p>For example, if you&#8217;d like to introduce your class to a universal tale about responsibility, perhaps you could all view <a href="http://www.childrenslibrary.org/icdl/BookPage?bookid=kidfafi_01020002&amp;pnum1=1&amp;twoPage=true&amp;route=africa&amp;size=0&amp;fullscreen=false&amp;lang=English&amp;ilang=English">Fafi&#8217;s Sheep</a> on the SMART Board together.  Learning that children in other countries and cultures face some of the same problems we do is an important lesson, and seeing Ethiopia&#8217;s <a href="http://www.omniglot.com/writing/amharic.htm">Amharic </a> writing alongside the English words is interesting as well.</p>
<p>You and your students may create your own accounts in order to save books you like, and you can create your own digital story with the ICDL-created iPhone App called &#8220;StoryKit.&#8221;  Visit the Apple AppStore and search for StoryKit.</p>
