Remember those infographics?

I used Piktochart (and Easel.ly for the chart) to create this infographic about an article you can find here. I started with a blank page and not a template so it was a struggle at first, but exploring it was fun.

    Hi Dana! I liked your infographic, especially the chart. It was fun to play around with the different sites and see how much they can offer! I think that older kids would have a great time summarizing articles with infographics because of all the fun visuals they could make. Good job!:)

    This is a great example of an infographic! I also love Piktochart. It is easy to use and makes quality graphics that students can really learn from...and produce!

    Your infographic was an eye opener! It is stunning that more students do not have access to a computer or laptop at home with internet connectivity and they are only left with using their phones. It is definitely something for teachers to keep in mind when creating homework assignments. There is a huge push for teachers to use technology in the classroom, but students need to be given time to complete work in the class or in the library since they may not have access at home.

Videos and QR Codes in the Library

Hey there bloggers (and blogettes…bloggerettes?), The YouTube! So today I’m going to join the modern world and talk about YouTube in the library! I know lots of y’all out there (like me) think YouTube is a dangerous territory, which it can be, but it is also a valuable too. Who uses YouTube constantly? STUDENTS! What better way to share info with them than by using their own beloved communicative vehicle? I looked at a few neat videos posted by librarians and they’re sharing some really great stuff with a really wide audience! Here are some I thought would be a really valuable learning tool for the kids! This helps kids build a bibliography using GALE articles and easybib.  “How to Pay for College” walkthrough (Fearless FAFSA).  How to do research using Ebsco Host, (A skill I didn’t learn until halfway through college).  A graphic US Constitution review, since we know government can be…complicated. Here are some I really think the kid...

When is the right season to plant podcasts?

Podasts are really popular now and it’s easy to see why! In a world where people have earbuds in most of their multi-tasking lives, it makes sense to listen to something that is informative or funny. Enter: Podcasts! As a librarian, you can use a weekly podcast to do book teasers, give a local school news cast, inform teachers about new edu-tech (I don’t know if that’s a word, but I like it) or literally anything else that strikes your fancy! There are quite a few podcast-creating apps out there, so you want to check out your options thoroughly. A couple friends and I (Shout-out to Christy Ta and Heather Cowham) did some research into what a library should look and feel like recently and here is our visually aided podcast sharing our findings.   Enjoy! This one was made with a combo of WeVideo and Podbean .  P odbean was used to create the original vocal track. It is SUPER easy to use and has a handy phone app that makes podcasting-on-the-go easy peasy lizard...
