Sounds like a great publication! I couldn't get the link to subscription information to work, but that could just be something from my browser. I loved your top 10 reasons! Your make some great points :-)!
Great use of the "sand dollar" template. Perfect for this project. Short, sweet, informative and the top ten list adds some personality. Good use of images as well. No suggestions, except you might want to check out a site called "tiny url". Nice one!
Keith, I love your exhibit! It is very easy to follow and find information. How did you add the screen shot? That is so awesome! Your top ten list is great too! I did not know that Knowledge Quest is published by the AASL. Thanks for sharing!

Keith,
I had never heard of Knowledge Quest. I followed one of a bunch of your links till I found some KQ content. I was planning on reading just a little bit to see what kind of content it had - I read a whole article on Differentiated Storytelling. It was fascinating. It didn't contain just one article on storytelling - it contained a bunch. You could be come very knowledgeable about one subject from just one issue. I would see this as a wonderful resource not just for MS, but Reading Specialists, English Teachers and so on. This kind of reminded me of the R&D text we use - lots of little articles that someone might find useful for ideas to incorporate into their own program.
One comment - When I clicked on your urls - I didn't know where they were going to take me. It would have been nice to have them labeled. For example - I knew I wanted to find content and I wasn't sure which link would take me there.
Thanks for introducing me to something new and useful!

Loved your top 10 reasons. A definite subscription I'll look into. Your page reminded me of a frosted orange at the varsity (that's a compliment).

Okay...I have to admit...I checked yours out last night...since I've fallen in love with Knowledge Quest. It has by far been my favorite way of keeping current. The articles are easy to read and print out nicely if I need a hard copy.
Your top ten list made me smile...which at 10:00 on a school night after the week of our SACS?AdvanEd review is a challenge.
Thanks!
I'll check out the links to improve them from the feedback. I actually meant to use most of them to cite sources :-)
Good exhibit, Keith. I liked the Looking Glass Wars article. You're right about being able to justify the relevance of buying Knowledge Quest to administrators - with parents like ALA and AASL, how could principals refuse?
Must say--I love your Top Ten Reasons! Those were hilarious...and true! I enjoyed learning about Knowledge Quest (I had never heard of it before). I got drawn into several articles. Thanks for sharing!
The Top 10 reasons were great! Good to know KQ won't let me down! The link to the sample article was a nice glimpse into Knowledge Quest info. I actually got lost in the info. Finally bookmarked it & decided to go back later...I had school work to do!
Ice burn on the UGA vs Bama reason. Harsh, but so true. I think that KnowledgeQuest's focus on theory makes justifying funding easier. In class we normally talk about things we can do without the educational theory background, so I think that this publication would be helpful for someone like me that does not have a background in education.
Thanks for sharing! That article you picked was so colorful and cool. It looks beautifully laid out.
I vote for most you for most humorous just because of your top ten reasons, but they were indeed great points. I have heard of this resource before, and it is a great one.
Thank you so much for making me laugh out loud. I needed that (after teaching some particulary hormonal high school students this week). I actually had never heard of Knowledge Quest before so thank you for introducing me!
