best place for a teacher website?

by new teacher

Aug 5, 2009

I'd like to make a website where I can put newsletters, grades, student work etc. I'd like part of the site to be available to the public and part of it to be available to parents who have a password. Is there anyplace like that out there that you know of? Thanks.

Susie lease check with your administration to find out if they already provide this service, if they do, they are paying for it and you will get the best service/continuity if everyone is using the same program

In my area everyone uses Blackboard.

I wanted to share this great set of articles in ASCD Express this week! It's so nice to see articles written by certified media specialists in a national curriculum publication like ASCD.

Public librarians vs. media specialist question

by confused graduate student

Aug 17, 2009

I was accepted into Drexel's online MLS program (there are no schools with this program near me). I have worked briefly as a library clerk and enjoyed it. However, I really enjoy children, and I feel that it would be so rewarding to instill the love of reading into kids, so for these reasons I am considering getting my degree in media specialist.

How would you catalog this book?

by sjluto

Aug 19, 2009

I am the new librarian to a school and am cataloging books left for me from last year. I have a book here, however, that I can't figure out where to catalog. Our system, luckily, gives us the call numbers for us, but this book doesn't have one and here's why. I the Library of Congress Cataloging system (we use dewey) it is under PZ7.B151. I have se...See More

Here's a tip Don't use LOC catalog records! they are messy and cumbersome!

Go to [link removed].

Then copy the MARC record and download it into your system (or you can copy it the old fashioned way) it works just like LOC and the records are much more useful for the average school librarian.

TAP Schools and the library

by Tedine

Aug 21, 2009

Our school is participating in the Teacher Advancement Program this year (TAP). In order to observe me, the master and mentor teachers made out my schedule for grades 7-12. They said I must teach each week to one of these grades. I will eventually be observed in all. They are evaluating me on the same criteria that they will a teacher. I am a teach...See More

Susie Do you have a job description? Or any written documentation about what it is you are supposed to do? I would start with that, present it to your mentors and explain why they cannot dictate your schedule.

Mentoring is not meant to disrupt the teaching process. I would work to set my own schedule, then provide them with options on how to ob...See More

by Rachel

Aug 26, 2009

I was wondering if anyone used a free webpage for there library or a for a minimal fee. Our district has been paying for teacherweb.com but due to budget will no longer pay for this service. I am looking at long term use. Thank you

Recommendations for computerizing class library?

by middle school newby

Aug 26, 2009

I am looking for a cheap way to track my classroom library and books I hand out? Is there any system you can recommend?

Cybrary Man When I first took over my school library years ago I created my own database of the books. You can do that or make a spreadsheet of your books. Instead of paying for a system you can create your own on a computer. If you have capable student helpers they can do the data entry.

On my original school library website for subject areas I would...See More

5th grade is looking for eco-themed book to read

by Kristine

Aug 27, 2009

One of the Gifted and talented teachers in my school was asking me to recommend a novel with an eco-friendly theme to it, sort of a "save the environment" type of thing. This would be for our 5th grade gifted level. I am having a hard time coming up with something. While I am on it, any new great novels for 8th grade that anyone would like to recom...See More

I second that Look no further than these. In fact, I would love to do lit circles with each of these and have each group do a project based on the issue presented.
