1. email and through the blog
2. ideas are good enough
3.I love the thought of a idea request.
I really enjoyed when you had on the blog how to store things when things are more specfic I know I come back time and time again to read the responses.
I find it very helpful.
1. I email thru the submit idea page.
2. A. I run out of time to look what ideas are wanted and when I do, I run out of time to send them.
3. I would love an Idea Request post!! I check the posts when I receive them and I wouldn’t have to remember to go to the website.
1. I submit ideas here and someone contacted me. 🙂
2. B. I don’t think my ideas are good enough – but also, other incentives (like a gift card to a store I can use everyday – my bookshelf is stocked and I need other resources!)
3. An idea request post on this blog is a great idea!
1. email.
2. The time factor is always there, but I think more than that is the feeling that the ideas I might submit aren’t what you would be looking for.
3. That would be great to have an idea request button. Much more convenient.
Good Morning,
1. I submit ideas via this blog.
2. I’m not sure that any of my ideas are genuinely original.
3. The idea of a thought request seems good to me.
I agree with Darlene, that when there have been specific topics brought up, I’ll come back to the blog to see what others have posted.
1. email and blog – the “idea” that I did recieve a gc for was one I put on the blog and didn’t even know I was doing it so that was a real surprise! Thank you!.
2. Never know if my ideas are original or good enough or just what every one is doing already anyway.
3. I too love the request idea – I learn alot from this blog — one of the only I follow and submit comments on.
Time is a huge factor it is for everyone in todays world – but I love seeing what everyone else does — and even follow requests. — I haven’t used my certificate yet because i cannot use it online have to do through a catalog order just can’t find a moment to pick the right book – really hard to decide!!! thanks — that is a good thing!
1. email- blog-comment
2. I sometime think my idea is not what you all are looking for.
3. Idea Request is an wonderful suggestion.I would help me keep on top of things
1 I haven’t submitted an idea yet.
2 b I am never sure of they are “original” enough.
3 I like the idea of it being on the blog.
1. I have never submitted an idea until this week. And I was just answering a question on what I wanted to see from Mailbox.
2. I don’t think my ideas are good enough and I don’t know what the Mailbox is looking for.
3. I would love too see that! Also with a little more direction!
1. I e-mail ideas by going to the “submit idea” page
2. B. I often don’t think my ideas are good enough
3. I would absolutely love to see an “Idea Request” on the blog! 🙂
I am currently submitting ideas through the blog.
Finding the time to submit an idea.
Yes I would like an idea request on the blog.
1. I haven’t submitted any ideas yet.
2. Don’t think my ideas are good enough and not sure what ideas you are looking for.
3. An idea request would we great.
1. by mail (I have submitted in the past).
2. I don’t know what types of ideas Mailbox is looking for and most I have picked up from others or your magazine.
3. I love the idea request. Then I may have a specific idea.
I only get on the internet about twice a week so I always feel late to the party.
1. I submitted an idea on Facebook just responding to a question.
2. Time, for a teacher, is always a factor, but I’ll try to submit more answers in the future.I did receive a coupon for $20 dollars for an idea.
3.Yes, I would like an “Idea Request”every couple of weeks.
1. I complete the submit an idea form.
2. Other – I don’t know. Frustration maybe? It’s like I find the time to submit a good idea and then it’s rejected. Then sometimes I think something is terrible and it’s accepted. I guess I’m between “Uhhhhhhh they didn’t like this one” So I put submitting ideas on the back burner. Until “Yeahhhhhhhhh they like this one.” So I randomly submit.
3. It depends. This is my first time ever reading this blog. So I cannot honestly answer this question.
1. I haven’t submitted an idea yet
2. D
3. I love this idea! I would definitely be able to submit an idea easier
1. This is the second post I’ve done. Both on the Gadzooks! It’s a Givaway! This forum is really easy. It’s so easy to just post a comment/reply.
2. What is the biggest obstacle for you when it comes to submitting ideas?
D. I don’t know what kinds of ideas The Mailbox editors want.
It helps if you ask a question because then I think “Oh! I do that one thing! I’ll send it in.” But without a prompt, I have so many ideas I use everyday that it is hard to focus them without a question.
3. Would you like an “Idea Request” post on this blog every couple of weeks?
YES!! That would be fabulous! I would post every chance I could!
1. I’ve never submitted an idea.
2. I am not sure the ideas I have are my own (20 years of teaching have blurred my recollections).
3. An idea request would certainly be helpful.
1) I did it thru the submit idea page and have my idea published in this Oct/Nov Preschool!!!
2) ideas are good enough
3) I think it would be great to have an Idea Request Post! I check all the time and love to get new ideas, especially since I have my students 2 yrs.
I send thru the submit idea page.
1. I currently submit ideas via e-mail.
2. Time(or lack there of) is the biggest factor, but I also worry about my ideas being “fresh.”
3. I like the idea of idea request blog.
