“Teachers, First Class”
We are inviting teachers to become our “Teachers, First Class”.
This is our way of thanking cutting edge teachers for using www.kidstravelwithJosh.com
in their classroom.
It works like this:
| |
Each and every student in the
enrolled class receives a FREE gift (such as a KidstravelwithJosh.com
Frisbee) after the student writes their first travel journal
entry. |
| |
The class can (democratically) decide the
FREE gift for each student who then writes five travel journal
entries from our selection. |
| |
For longer class commitments, the class
can work as a cohesive community with a common goal in mind.
In this case, the class works toward achieving a goal of a
predetermined number of total entries in order for their teacher
to receive a valuable Gift Card from Barnes & Noble. (Gift
Card programs start at $75 for only 150 journal entries. On
average, this would mean each student in a class of 25 would
write only 6 journal entries during the entire school year. |
Another exciting way to use this program is to
match up with a class in the same grade…
within the same school district,
OR as far away as a different
city or state…
and try to reach the predetermined
goal first. Remember, FREE
gifts for all students involved!
This is a fun and goal driven way of encouraging English Language
Arts and technology skill building.
We can provide teachers with updated lists of:
| |
how many travel journal
entries each student has written |
| |
how many the class has written |
| |
how many more entries need be written
to achieve different goals, as outlined above |
This important, additional support is offered,
completely free of charge:
| |
Preprinted “Parental
Consent Forms” which need to be signed for students
to be included on the website. |
| |
Each student will receive (via their
teacher) his/ her unique password & username in order
to submit their journal entries. Please note,
no journal entries are uploaded live. All entries will
be edited and checked for appropriateness prior to being
uploaded to the site. |
| |
Open communication between kidstravelwithJosh.com
and educators and parents if there are any questions about
the program. |
Let’s make using www.kidstravelwithJosh.com
in your classroom an adventure, just like travel itself is!
