I have found that blogging is awesome. There are clearly enless possibilities. I am thinking for the media center I would like to use a blog as an online book club for our 3rd and 4th grade students. My school currently serves PK - 4th. We do not use any sort of reading tracking system at my school, so not AR, Reading Counts, etc. The children at my school turned on to reading and my job primariliy is to fuel the fire so to speak. I think a technology component would really fuel the fire with the students.
Students could likst their favorite books with a review. I think that this would be a good way for students to find out about books that may not know about.
Other ideas - I like the idea of voting for favorite books although when I find out more about wiki's this could change.
I like the idea of students posting their own pigeon stories and sharing comments about others work. We currently creating our own pigeon stories now. I think that this will help with pre-reading, reading and creative writing.
I'm so excited to implement these ideas at my school!
The Pigeon Wants a.........
On April 1st, Mo Willems is going to release a new pigeon book. He is having a contest to guess the ending of the title of the book. If you guess the title, then he will visit your school. The title is The Pigeon Wants... What do you think?
What is your favorite book?
Such a hard decision!! I personally love Arnie the Doughnut by Laurie Keller
