Fall 2009: Storybook Ballot

Here are the results of the nominations - and thanks to all of you who shared your input! As you can imagine, with so many great Storybooks to choose from, the nominations were all over the place. I sorted out the most frequently nominated Storybooks to place on this ballot, and you can cast your vote for the Storybooks in your class at Desire2Learn (look in Week 14) between now and Thursday, December 3, at 5PM. I'll announce the results in the Friday announcements!

Meanwhile, I hope you might even want to take a few minutes to look at some of the top-nominated Storybooks in the other classes too. It's so exciting to see the wonderful new projects people come up with each and every semester! :-)
