Christine Nielsen, one of our more creative profile designers, has done it again, this time with a scary and dramatic theme profile for Halloween, replete with spooky sound effects. Your students’ hearts will be racing for more reasons than just the effort! The ending is rather ingenious; we’d love to hear if any of you added to the story line. Read more…
My Back-to-School profile and playlist was a big hit this morning so I thought I’d share it with you. If you’re not into theme profiles, this one may change your mind! This playlist spans the genres, and includes folk, indie, R&B, pop, punk, retro, and classic rock. It also spans the school age, from elementary to high school to college. As the Ramones say, “Fun, fun, rock ‘n roll high school”!Read more…

This very fun profile is a game that you’ll play with your students. You’ll ask them a series of questions, and depending on how bad they were as kids when trick or treating or the antics they played at college costume parties, you’ll tell them to “pay some penance”! It has the potential of being quite challenging, unless your students were all angels growing up. Have fun with this one! Read more…
