Reviewer Relief

I encourage the kids at work to tell me about the books they have read and to do a review, and rarely do myself. So I relished the chance to do a review for the latest Sally Prue novel for Reading Zone which they have published. I actually found the process quite challenging especially as I struggled to engage with the novel at times, and I had to remind myself that this is a novel aimed at 8-11 year old children not adults. Also putting in negative comments  was a challenge to me as what i see as a negative other folk may not have an issue with, and is it just me not engaging with the book properly rather than a flaw in the writing!
So I have a new appreciation for pupils at work who are tasked to do book reviews, and having struggled with this one, I think I need to get a few more done to hone my reviewer style!

Simply Symbaloo

I've been using Symbaloo for a couple of years now and it's a great free web tool. Essentially it's a bookmarking tool for websites which you can curate into different webmixes - collections of websites. Each website is displayed as a tile, which you can re-name, alter the image and move about the webmix You then click on that tile to go to the website.  I have various webmix pages including for  collating web resources and videos for future projects, for CPD reading and webinars and also one for books I've reviewed for Reading Zone. It's a great being able to see what I've read and reviewed and bring up the review with just a click, and remind myself what a book was about before a book talk! As Symbaloo is a website you log into it from any device and manage your webmixes. Also, as someone who used to keep websites open in a tab on his iPad till I needed them, using Symbaloo has allowed me to tidy up by web browser and keep it much less cluttered! One other adv...

Get reviewing

At school we often ask the kids to review a book they have been reading. Recently I thought to myself when was the last time I produced a book review. I couldn't remember. So I decided to write several for the website www.readingzone.com to remind me what it is like to write a book review to a deadline. I found it quite a challenge and realised that some kids will find the process equally as challenging! I do feel we shouldn't ask kids to do something we are not prepared to do ourselves. Ultimately I enjoyed the books and creating reviews which have been published on the website, and I have a better understanding of what I am asking the kids to do when I ask them to write a short review. Hopefully I can offer better guidance to those who find the task a struggle, and I will keep writing reviews for the website too.  The links are below for the two books I recently reviewed:  The M Word by Brian Conaghan https://readingzone.com/index.php?zone=sz&page=your_review...

Challenging times, time for challenges

We are in challenging and unusual times, and the library sector has been as much affected by the Coronavirus control measures as any other work sector. I'm a librarian unable to access the two school libraries I manage. I am finding this difficult to accept as there is much more I could do for the students and teachers by physically being in my libraries. The sudden move to providing teaching and learning to students via online platforms like Teams has left me playing catch up and unable to engage with students as teachers are able to do. While I'm struggling to find a role this doesn't mean I can't have an online presence to support teachers and students. Rather than dwell on the negative side of things, I'm looking at using this time of challenge and change to challenge myself to find ways to have an online presence.  While I still get to grips with Teams and what this can do, I have  created a Symbaloo page,  https://www.symbaloo.com/shared/AAAAA-8TxUUAA41_W...
