Have you checked out our updated Web site? Yesterday, TheMailbox.com went from being a great Web site to being a super-duper, gold star, totally awesome, terrifically fantastic Web site! Can you tell I’m just a little excited?

You’ve got to check out My Mailbox. It’s the best ever! Now you can search for and get free ideas on our Web site! Simply enter a skill, topic, or theme in the search box, click the search button, and—bingo!— ideas pop up. The ideas are there for you to view and print for free.

But wait a second! My Mailbox gets even more fabulous: for just 16 cents a day you can have a digital subscription to The Mailbox magazine of your choice and all the magazine’s online extras, plus access to selected ideas and reproducibles from the past ten years of The Mailbox and Teacher’s Helper magazines and The Mailbox Books for your grade level! And you get a shiny new online file cabinet to save and organize your ideas.

Here’s one more fave of mine that you’ve got to see. It’s called The Mailbox Marketplace, and it’s a shopper’s dream! Right now you’ll find six individual shops filled with timely teaching solutions. What do I mean by timely? Well, for the month of July the marketplace features products for back-to-school! And, better yet, the items have been handpicked by The Mailbox editors (who are all former teachers).

So I’ve got a deal for you! Check out the new Web site and tell me what you think by responding to this post by midnight EDT on July 20. Your name will be entered in a drawing for a $20 gift certificate from The Mailbox—a gift certificate good for any offer on our Web site. Now, I’d better wrap up this post before I’m tempted to give away a second gift certificate! Oh, what the heck! Let’s have two lucky winners!

Proud to be a fan of The Mailbox,

Diane

Congrats to our contest winners, Ruth and Bee!

    Looking forward to exploring the new site!

    The “My Mailbox Files” is a great idea. So often I’ve seen something only to think I will be able to find it again and then can’t! Now there is a place for it. The toolkit is also nice and handy for those basic needs.

    Hi…just love the new format! And I can tell how very excited you are about it…it’s contagious! Education is a career change for me & I am close to getting my license & Masters’ in Early Childhood. Love the Mailbox resources…it’s a Godsend for all teachers - new ones & veterans! Thank you for sharing your love of education!

    I love it! Not just the look, but the search feature!

    I love the new look. I was impressed with the market place. I have always loved your books but now theproducts. Wow.

    I love THE MAILBOX! It has made my lesson planning so much easier. The website is fabulous, and I can’t wait to check out My Mailbox.

    I hate to be the fly in the ointment, wet blanket, etc., but I find the new site to be much more commercial-oriented and less friendly. I closed it out two times and retyped the web address thinking that I couldn’t possibly be in the right place. :(

    Looks great — I like the center ideas up front and center! Can’t wait to give it a try!

    The Season Ideas are awesome! Thanks so much!

    Nicholas asked a great question! The price of $59.95 includes six free digital issues of The Mailbox Magazine at the level of your choice (a $29.95 value). These issues are the same issues you would receive in the mail. If you’d like to maintain a mailed subscription, too, you can do so at the normal subscription rate.

    Please contact the friendly folks in our customer service department if you have any other questions. To reach them call 1-877-696-0825 between 9 AM and 6 PM (EST), Monday through Friday. Or zing them an email at custserv@themailbox.com.

    Ohhh…a shiny new Toolkit–I’m in Literacy Helpers and Math Helpers heaven! And the My Mailbox Files feature is a dream :D I’ll never have to wander around looking for programmable documents again!
