    Uploaded by

    rudimyers
    The library saw a large increase in class use and teacher collaboration. Google Earth was used to teach freshmen geography and can integrate other subjects. Five Nook e-readers were purchased with titles like The Maze Runner and classics for students to check out and read in the library. Justin Fox won the school poetry contest and will compete in a regional event in January. Ebooks will hopefully be available through the catalog starting next year.

    The Loquacious Library

    A Newsletter from the SHS Library


    Staff: Susan Myers, Irene Tighe, Myra Webb http://loquaciouslibrary.com

    November/December 2012

    Classes/Collaboration
    The library saw a huge upswing in the number of classes and collaboration with teachers. As of the end of November, class use rose by 48% and collaboration from 48 to 110 (comparing August to November of this year to last year). Because of common core, students will need more exposure to research and informational text in books. Stop by and talk to us about how we can help you implement common core.

    Google Earth
    Mrs. Myers taught students in some of the Freshman Academy social studies classes how to create a tour. The lesson tied in with Geography Week. Google Earth can also be integrated with other subjects:. English Students create a literature tour <tracing the path of character or storyline> Math Use real-time coordinates to demonstrate distance calculations and verify the results Calculate the volume of the Great Pyramids and estimate the land area lost to Amazon deforestation. Science View Google Earth layers containing images, links, and descriptions, with information about thousands of volcanoes around the globe, thanks to organizations like the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program. Identify suitable habitat for an animal using satellite imagery in Google Earth

    Nooks!
    The library ordered five Simple Nooks and loaded them with titles. Students may check out a Nook and read it IN the library. Also, students who own their own e-reading device (Nook, Kindle, etc) can use it in the media center. To list just a few, titles on the Nooks include The Maze Runner, Fairest, Eli the Good, Alice in Zombieland, The Sky is Everywhere, and some classic titles.

    Poetry Outloud
    Congratulations to Justin Fox who won the Poetry Outloud Contest at SHS. Justin will move on to the Hub Bub Poetry Outloud event on January 21st starting at noon.

    Ebooks
    Ebooks are coming! We hope they materialize at the beginning of the new year. Titles will be available through the catalog. Statistics
