Teacher Librarian to Staff:
I think blogging would be a great tool to use with teachers to share ideas and resources, but also to communicate information from committee meetings and have it all organized in one place for the participants to access rather than sending out numerous emails and trying to find information in old emails.
It could also be used as a follow-up tool after an in-service. Especially for teachers to share with colleagues any great ways they are implementing the new information into their curriculum. (i.e., technology, differentiation, etc.). Or share additional resources/links for teachers to use.
Teacher Librarian to Students:
I have been thinking about starting a book club with the 5th graders and a blog would be a great tool for me to pose questions to the students and have them respond.

Two concrete ideas - 1) management tool 2) place to post opinions, ideas about shared reading. Both work and worth the time to investigate!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this would be a great tool to use between staff and I also think it would be great to use with parents. Something I always strive for is to work as a team with the parents and make them take ownership for part of their child's education. I think using a tool like blogging could make this partnership stronger and more efficient.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of having the info from staff meetings in a blog. What a great way to do away with some of the papers that I constantly loose! It would also provide a way to make comments or changes.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to have the blogger change from meeting to meeting to gain different perspectives...Hmmmm...
Do you see the librarian as someone who would facilitate that? Would your principal be supportive of that?
I'm not sure if mine would...he likes to control things a bit. He would probably like it if he was always the blogger.
