I love using letter pop. I am creating a page for my daughter. I am not sure how to attach my letter though. Here is the address that it is published under. http://letterpop.com/newsletters/?id=61065-9ff0c0

Letter Pop is really cool, I think this is something that could be used for so many things. I had fun trying to figure out what pictures to use and what I wanted my newsletter to be about. I decided to make it all about the kids in my family, my daugter, my two nieces and my three nephews. Here is the address to my newsletter :

I really enjoyed my experience with Letterpop. It was an easy site to understand and work through. They provided a wide variety of templates which made my first newsletter an easy one to develop. Letterpop will be a tool that I will use professionally but also personally for many projects. It was awesome!!!!! Here is the URL for my first newsletter: http://letterpop.com/newsletters/?id=62656-92b12f

I found this website to be very fun and useful. Someday in my classroom I want to send home monthly newsletters to let parents know what is happening in our room so this was just a sample of what it could look like. I had lots of fun, and once I got signed in, it was very easy to upload it to the web. You can find my sample newsletter at http://letterpop.com/newsletters/?id=63025-5ea4f2

I absolutely loved this assignment and think letterpop is wonderful. I will use it for many different things. After reading some of the comments on our classroom site I realized I was thinking in the box too much. I was only thinking of ways to use it in the classroom. There are many personal ways to use it as well. Someone mentiioned doing a newsletter to capture her kids' karate/taekwondo. What a great idea. Letterpop has so many possibilities.

My newsletter can be found at: http://letterpop.com/newsletters/?id=63078-128f19

Making my Letter Pop newsletter was pretty easy. It wasn't hard to download the photos or change the font on the words. I enjoyed making this newsletter and will probably make many more in the future. Here is my newsletter. http://letterpop.com/newsletters/S_Stockton/63249/

when I am able to get into letter pop by signing in, then I will put in the link to my project. I am waiting for an email.

Here is the URL for my newsletter. I made a newsletter for my purity girls. I am holding get togethers on Sundays for 6-8 grade girls and we are talking about abstinence and just girl stuff. I actually wrote the letter to the mothers of the girls.
I did like letterpop. I am always into free, easy, and create things. I do wish that there were more WORD applications on letterpop. I wish there were more fonts and spell check and whatever else that I like and most of the time, need. I loved all the templates! This is something that can be very useful in the classroom or for anything that you would like to get out and let people know about. I like it!

For those who do not have access to the more expensive software (which many teachers do not) this is a good solution. It is easy to use and even though at times it is a bit primitive (not a lot of control of space between headings and body text, etc.) if it saves a couple of hours then I think it well worth a little sacrifice of the design itself. I did like the drag and drop option it had I thought that worked pretty smooth. The only adive I have is to save often as the program seemed a little buggy and you could lose your work easily.

Here is my newsletter publication:

I really like this website. It was easy to use and I really think this website will be helpful in the future. I like things that look appealing, rather than just notes. I also think this is a neat way to keep parents and others up-to-date on what is going on in the classroom. This newsletter is a field trip that I got to go on. It is published under http://letterpop.com/newsletters/?id=64364-74a218.

[Kim Boxberger]

This is an alright thing. I am a person like everyone else though and have my heart set favorites that I know by heart and have used them front and back. With little spare time, I like the things I know...I do have a journal of things I want to look into more, as time allows. It was easy, but has its quirks. Hope this works.
