Been poking around looking for good RSS feeds to add.  Signed up on Bloglines and registered for literary info (N.Y Times Book Review), library info (Library.Net), some local news (yourstreet.com/news/oakland) as well as something Italian at LonelyPlanet.  I’ll continue browsing blogs this summer for other tings of interest to subscribe to.

Using Technology in the Library

I like Robin’s idea of using the Flickr map feature with our third grade local history curriculum.  Maybe Chad or Denise would consider having their students create a podcast for their historical item, and we could coordinate this with a Flickr map of Piedmont.  We have collected a lot of resources on Piedmont history, but they aren’t particularly child-friendly…

I also like Randi’s suggestion that we videotape students booktalking their latest read and running it continuously on one of the library computer stations.  I think this would make a fun book report project to do over the course of the school year with each of the fifth grade classes, maybe starting with Katy…

And since there is no computer lab at Havens Jr., Val might like taking on these activities in the classroom…

With much help from Yoly, I moved this photo of the Bellini fountain in Piazza Navona, Rome from Flickr to my WordPress blog. Thanks Carolyn. Now I’m going to look for something curricular…

Read about the program and watched the video about lifelong learning.

P.S. I’ve also read about Things 1 & 2 in The Cat in the Hat.
