Something for everyone...

There is so much out on the web, - just look at the number of results for the next search you do! As  Teacher Librarian I hope to draw attention to some of the sites that may be of interest or help to you!


For Everyone

Cyber-safety is important for all of us and cyber-bullying is becoming an issue in schools, even primary schools. This Cybersmart link takes you to excellent resources that help us become aware of the things we all need to think about when online. There are links for 5 - 7 year olds, 8 - 12 year olds and teenagers, as well as parents, teachers and even librarians :) - something for everyone!

For Teachers

I have decided to begin teacher resources with links to Blooms Taxonomy Resources. With changes in technology and increasing awareness of catering for the different strengths of students, it is good to look at what is being done around the world and here in Australia.

For Students (and parents & teachers)

I took home some of the popular books students have been borrowing for some holiday reading. It started me thinking about the good books we have (or should have) in our library and how to tell you about them. So to help you chose some good books to read I have included some lists for the different stages. I have to thank the OZTL_NET [teacher librarian forum] for their collective wisdom. Click on the link that best matches you!

For Parents

If you would like to look at other books available, check out Pivotal Kids books for some more ideas or read the Books from the Basement blog, reviews from retired librarian Kerry Neary :)

For Researchers (students & teachers)

Our library has some great books to help your research, but there are also many websites that can be of great use. To see what we have to help you find out more about what you are studying in class, visit my pathfinders wiki. If you have any thing to add to these just let me know : ). This wiki also includes help for the information skills process (or "how to research and present your work"!)
