Edublog recommended library blogs

This new school blog focuses on books. Well done to them in setting it up!

Hi Vivien, I really like the layout of your blog. I bet the students find it easy to use. Sorry to read about your school in the paper today :( Lisa

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.

TFIOS has been really popular with our boys and they will be very excited to hear the movie is out here first!

Must check out Vine for making quick videos to go on the OPAC etc.

Social Media in schools

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.

I found this blog fascinating

Interesting idea, I think I would try it with eBooks that were part of a print series or by a popular author so students could see another option.

Book blog written by Christchurch public librarian Zac. Great for keeping up to date with upcoming releases and often good competitions to win books. Children and Teen fiction, good for primary and secondary school.

This is why we are on this SLANZA Online Course

Testing sharing a website. Always good to have a movie trailer to promote the book and/or series.

Our Library will be having a shared activity in Term two Week Five. Making the Tivaevae mats with Cook Island Grandmothers and our students.

Movie adaptation of Lois Lowry book stars Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges. (VIDEO)

Hey girls, I read in today's NZ Herald Sideswipe that the movie 'The Giver' is being released this year. We don't have the book in our collection and I'm going to add it to this week's order.
