The library: once a spot for only library checkouts and sharing storybooks, and now a space full of technology and kids who are often more savvy on the tools than the teachers attempting to lead lessons about them.  For those of us in the library who still crave that time with the students; finding them their next best reads, using the perfect voices in a read aloud that keeps them chuckling for days, or (most importantly) teaching our students that a passion for reading is just as cool as the tablet, phone, or laptop that they can\u2019t wait to get home to; finding that balance can be tough.<\/span><\/p>\n

After attending NerdCampMI<\/a><\/span> this summer, I was more riled up than ever to get the best books in the hands of our kids.  And, yet, I knew that THEY were<\/span> excited to get back to the tech tools, the websites, and the apps.  So how could I mix my hopes of sharing the best-books-ever with my students while getting them totally pumped to hear about them?  This became my goal for the upcoming school year.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week our YGS and BGS 3rd graders are using @nearpod<\/a> to respond to our library book talks! We are sharing a stack of \u201cgems\u201d from our shelves… can you tell which books match each response on Nearpod? #bookendgems<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ZdVy6ZO2I6<\/a><\/p>\n
