http://goo.gl/F7azc3

This presentation was offered (with co-presenter Nancy Sharkey) as part of the BCTLA's webinar series. We explored why Admin reports for Teacher-librarians can be an effective tool for advocacy and we looked at what might be included, and what "unorthodox" formats might work best. (The link is to the slideshow, with speaker's notes for additional links.)

World Book Encyclopedia

Encyclopedias are a great way to build context for students. I use this slideshow to promote the many features of WB, the three levels and the three languages.

This year's conference looked at the roles of the TL, how teacher-librarians can support the new curriculum, the value of memory books and fiction to help students deal with loss, the role of innovation grants, and some fun "bibliotechnology" to razzle and dazzle.

In a continuing series of workshops for French Immersion Teacher Librarians, I reviewed the subscription database/services we have in the district that are useful in the FIM classroom. Included are references (and links) to print materials in the DRC catalog.

Streaming video anyone?

This presentation was part of a Pro-D series for French Immersion librarians in my district.

For the Immersion or FSL teacher, there are a number of paid and free video that can enhance the classroom experience. TFO, APTN, TéléQuébec, ONF, Learn360 and Radio-Canada. I've shared some links that might be useful.

I reworked my EBSCO mags presentation to focus on French titles only. (See the link for the slideshow) Although there are only a handful of offerings, they can be a welcome addition to the FSL or French Immersion classroom. I also make a nod to MaryGlasgowPlus and Google CSE towards the end of the presentation.
