    Made my Smore and finally figured out how to share in the group.   Now I'm inviting you to our event, the weather is always lovely in Kerikeri and you can get great deals on accommodation this time of year.  I'll even throw in a Northland welcome pack!

    Liked this as an idea for a library based school poetry day - Poem in Your Pocket Day to share with others throughout the day after researching a poem in the library. A previous site referred to a new book 'Firefly July and Other Very Short Poems' by Paul B Janeczko (Candlewick) coming out soon.

School Library Monthly - Curation - 8 views

  • Librarians are uniquely qualified to curate. School librarians are perhaps most ripe for this function, because they understand the curriculum and the specific needs and interests of their own communities of teachers, administrators, learners, and parents.
  • We school librarians are used to critically evaluating, selecting, and sharing content and tools for learning. We are used to taming information flow to facilitate discovery and knowledge building.
  • Educators will also value help in gathering the tools they need for daily classroom activities. School librarians can gather lesson and rubric portals, nonfiction and documentary films, booktrailers, tools for regular classroom routines—online stop watches, classroom clipart, poster tools, game and quiz generators, etc.

  • Unlike other Web curators, librarians are not simple one-interest enthusiasts.
  • As school librarians we can think of digital collection curation as the selection and assembly of a focused group of resources into a Web-based presentation that meets an identified purpose or need and has meaning and context for a targeted audience.
  • School librarians might also curate for parents by gathering resources to support learning at home, explanations of new technologies, and instruction in transliteracy.
  • These learning artifacts can function as lasting tools for instruction as well as models for future learners.
  • Curation tools present an exciting new genre of search tool. Searchers can now exploit the curated efforts or the bibliographies of experts and others who take the lead in a particular subject area—those who volunteer to scan the real-time environment as scouts. They also present the opportunity to guide learners in new evaluation strategies. Who is the curator? Which curators can you trust? Is a curator attached to a team, publication, institution, organization? How can the quality of their insights, selections, sources, and feeds be judged? Do their efforts have many followers? Is their curation active and current?

    Inspirational site by a fellow school librarian. She shares simple as well as more complex ideas on how to produce a display that will fulfil its purpose - to engage and inspire students to pick up a book that might not have looked at before.

Bobs Books Blog | Childrens and Young Adult Book Reviews by Bob Docherty - 3 views

  •  
    I've often found useful reviews on this blog
  •  
    I've been reading Bob's blog ever since he started it and haven't found him wrong yet :) If he recommends it I usually buy it. We also share the cost with the English Dept every year and get Bob down to talk to the classes - worth every penny and he's not expensive.
  •  
    Yes, I agree Bob is a good reviewer. He is also a good presenter. Whangarei Boys High School has a 'Dads and Lads' evening with him which is very popular. I find that all the books he speaks about become popular and it's good to be the first to know about them.

Free Technology for Teachers: Inspire Students to Read and Travel With The Global Books... - 1 views

  • Inspire Students to Read and Travel With The Global Bookshelf The Global Bookshelf is a book search and recommendation engine that was started by my friend Gillian Duffy. The purpose of The Global Bookshelf is to help people find travel stories. The books you'll find aren't travel guides, they're travel stories that could inspire you to visit a new place and experience a new culture. You can browse The Global Bookshelf by region, genre, and book format (Kindle, PDF, physical book). Applications for Education Gillian is very keen to have others add their book reviews to The Global Bookshelf. If you have high school students who have read some travel narratives, consider having them write a review to share on The Global Bookshelf. This is a great way to provide an authentic audience for your students' work.

    I hope this will go to the correct discussion :)

Derek's Blog » What makes a learning environment modern? - 3 views

  •  
    Thanks for sharing this - I agree our learning environments need to be flexible and be able to adapt to change, This can be seen at this school as the Library & Information Centre (which is only 4 years old) is so popular with students we have had to adapt the space to relocate Careers here so that their student footprint will increase. Students like to study and learn here so it is having services that they need near them and adapting areas to suit this.
