Debate on School Libraries in South Africa | Equal Education - 0 views

  •  
    One panellist suggested that a library should be regarded as a function, with its resources tying in with the school curriculum and meeting the needs of both staff and learners. The need for integration between the teaching curriculum and a school's library were echoed by other panellists. Much emphasis was placed on the transformative potential of school libraries, with speakers describing libraries as "agents of change" and "hubs of creativity," and librarians as "transformational agents."

Acclaimed Colombian Institution Has 4,800 Books and 10 Legs - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Sweating already under the unforgiving sun, he strapped pouches with the word “Biblioburro” painted in blue letters to the donkeys’ backs and loaded them with an eclectic cargo of books destined for people living in the small villages beyond.
  • “I started out with 70 books, and now I have a collection of more than 4,800,” said Mr. Soriano, 36, a primary school teacher who lives in a small house here with his wife and three children, with books piled to the ceilings.
  • A whimsical riff on the bookmobile, Mr. Soriano’s Biblioburro is a small institution: one man and two donkeys. He created it out of the simple belief that the act of taking books to people who do not have them can somehow improve this impoverished region, and perhaps Colombia.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Unlike Mr. García Márquez, who lives in Mexico City, Mr. Soriano has never traveled outside Colombia — but he remains dedicated to bringing its people a touch of the outside world. His project has won acclaim from the nation’s literacy specialists and is the subject of a new documentary by a Colombian filmmaker, Carlos Rendón Zipaguata.

Library | 60second Recap - 1 views

  •  
    60 second summary videos of major books kids would study at school (e.g. Romeo & Juliet, 1984, Pride & Prejudice). Great idea for tech integration: could do 60 second summaries of a chapter, a whole book, or of a character.  Would be good to show kids too, but had some rather inappropriate ads on some of the ones I saw, which is a shame.
