Write a Book Review - Read a Book Review!


Write a Book Review - Read a Book Review!

Hey there Teacher-Librarian peeeps! I've started up something super cool i just gotta tell you about! And yeah, i'm behind the curve on this one....but i'm running to catch up! LOL

Using a simple to create Google doc with a pre-set theme i created an online book review wikipage!

Where i can send my kids to to write & submit an online reivew

and read published reviews!

of course i'm not going to publish their *real names* on these reviews - i've asked them to come up with an appropriate screenname!

once we get started we're gonna have a drawing for prizes on book reviews for a chance to win FREE Advanced copy books, iTunes gift cards, and other random stuff i think is cool!

Write a Book Review TODAY!~


Want to WATCH a Book Review? - My Teacher-Librarian friend Mr. Yeargin does book review VLOGS called Read This Book! now, Ms. Jones is WAY to shy [cough cough] to do this - but hey! if anyone of my kids wants to, i have my flip camera ready and rarin to go! LOL

Makerspace for Little or Nothing

Makerspace for Little or Nothing You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to start a Makerspace area. You don't have to have a designated room or rip out bookcases. You can even have a Makerspace on a cart! When we have testing in our Library, I put all our Makerspace stuff on an AV cart and roll it into our server room.  This post evolved from a previous post called Makerspace Starter Kit Updated where I had some of these idea, but I felt that it deserved it's own expanded post. You can take baby steps into the Maker Movement.  I've been saying that for 7 years or so....long before I blogged about it, I tried it out. Yeah, sometimes I try things on the sly to see if they are blogworthy for you! Now....having said that..... WARNING: Controversial Opinion Ahead.  I'm not 100% sold, even after 7 years of talking about the Maker Movement, that it's something that's here to stay and not just a fad. Even though I've (without knowing it!)...

Makerspace Starter Kit Updated

Image
Three years ago I shared my Makerspace Starter Kit with you or what I was buying to boost our Makerspace area using four empty Library study carrels that no longer held desktop Macs.  That post has consistently been one of the most viewed posts every week for years and years - with more than 83 THOUSAND views, gee whiz! (Crazy, right?) So, I thought maybe it was time to update it!*  Since then, I've had some major Makerspace successes and a couple dismal (and expensive) Makerspace failures!  So, here's the latest for ya'll with the good, the bad, and the bloody awful! Our MHMS Makerspace How it works: Kids can come in before the 1st period late bell rings, during lunch, or when they've finished their work in class to explore, craft, and create in the Library Media Center. It's not a "class" or an organized offering. It's a free form optional offering of constructivist learning and creativity! It's not as big as some and it hasn't tak...

My Edublog Nomiations 2011

Image
To celebrate the #Eddies this year I thought I would do my nominating both on my professional blog and on our NEW! Daring School Library Edublog ! The EduBlogger award nomination process is a wonderful opportunity Pay it Forward by recognizing those in our PLN for their hard work and generosity. I wish I could name more than one on several of these categories! Gah! The Edublog awards has had a lot of buzz the last couple of years (both positive & hater) but I find the event & experience invigorating! I've been humbled & honored to be nominated a couple times (first by the amazing Shelly S Terrell! Thank you, Shelly!) and even came in second runner up once or twice! But what I get most from the Edublogs is an ever growing list of great new voices and views to add to my personal learning network. So, to practice what I preach about educational thieving, when I like something I STEAL IT! Here are my cribbed & adapted Edublog nominations! Heh heh heh! If you r...
