Courses include:

The Tech Savvy Booktalker

Get children excited about books by using booktalks.  Booktalks are not
book reviews but short promos that tease the child into wanting to know
more.  Why not jazz up the booktalks by adding a technology component?
During this course, learn how to make use of available technology to
enhance integration for student success.  From podcasts to Powerpoint,
from MovieMaker to Photostory, Nancy Keane, author of fourteen books,
will share ideas that will help you become the Tech-Savvy Booktalker.

Instructor: Nancy J. Keane, Library Media Specialist, Rundlett Middle
School

 

Sharing Poetry with Children

This course offers an introduction to the major poets, titles, and
anthologies of contemporary poetry published for children with a focus
on interactive and participatory techniques and approaches for sharing
poetry with children and fostering their responses to poetry. For
librarians and library aides who work with children ages 5-12.

Instructor: Sylvia M. Vardell, Professor, Texas Woman's University

 

The Newbery Medal: Past, Present and Future

What does it mean when we recommend Newbery Award winners to the
children in our communities? Should the ALA seal of approval stand for
100 years? Why is that gold medal often considered the "kiss of death"
by kids?  How can we help parents and teachers understand what the
Newbery Medal is - and isn't?  This 6-week online course will give
participants a solid grounding in the history of the Medal and how it's
changed over time; an opportunity to read, discuss and consider past and
present Newbery winners with their colleagues from across the nation; a
chance to talk to former Newbery Committee members and a Newbery author,
and suggestions for programming using Newbery-winning books. 

Instructor: Kathleen T. Horning, Director, Cooperative Children's Book
Center, University of Wisconsin- Madison
