E Se a biblioteca fechasse, que impacto é que isso teria na tua escola? Esta é uma questão que costumava colocar em ambientes formativos.
Este filme é, quanto a mim, muito feliz pois de uma forma muito breve e sintética mostra o papel da Biblioteca e bibliotecários.
Talvez fosse bom que cada responsável de cada Biblioteca fosse capaz de enunciar em breves palavras para que serve uma biblioteca. Será que são capazes?

276 - Nativos digitais / Imigrantes digitais
É bem interessante este cartoon. Ele explica muito bem a forma como várias gerações se posicionam face ao computador:
- A ideia de explorar e experimentar sem medo, mesmo que isso até signifique não intencionalidade, o que assusta a muitos adultos que pensam que toda a descoberta tem que ser planeada e organizada.
- A do adulto que pouco percebe de tecnologias e que tenta, tenta, mas não tem mesmo ideia nenhuma de como conseguir fazer isto ou aquilo!

275 - 10 tips for (reticent) bloggers…

10 tips for (reticent) bloggers…
A colleague who teaches writing, draws incredible poetry and prose out of her students. Yet she has what she calls ‘writer’s blog’ (block) which prevents her from starting a blog. Another has just had an incredible learning experience and spent four hours organizing her thoughts and experiences by writing blog posts… despite not having a blog, as she feels uncertain whether others will be interested in what she writes.
It seems they are not alone…
When
I started blogging, I struggled to find my voice. My first few posts
(some of which were subsequently deleted) sounded as if they had each
been written by a different person. Then I realised I didn’t need to try
so hard.

so hard.10 tips for
- Write in your own voice, as if you are talking to people you know.
- Don’t over-think and over-plan, just write what’s in your head. You can write another post when you have developed your thinking further.
- Don’t agonise over whether it’s good enough. Write, check, post, done. You’ll improve with practice.
- Never force it. If an idea for a post isn’t working, scrap it.
- Avoid long slabs of text. Write in paragraphs. Use headings, images and bullet points to express your thinking clearly and ensure your message is evident.
- Don’t explain everything. Use hyper-links to existing explanations on your blog and elsewhere on the internet.
- Shorter posts are better than long ones. Always. Big idea? Break it into two posts. Small idea? Sometimes one paragraph is enough.
- You don’t need to have all the answers. Some of my most successful posts have been composed entirely of questions.
- Exclude
allwords thatjustdon’t add anything. This was theverybestpiece ofadvice I read when Ifirststarted blogging.Carefullyre-read poststhat you have writtenandtry toremoveall theextraneous wordsthat add little or nothing. - Exercise humility. (The tips above work for me, I’m just sharing…)

274 - 20 ways to think about your class blog…
De (From):
http://whatedsaid.wordpress.com/
One of the ways I like to encourage learning based on my school’s learning principles is to promote the use of class blogs. In the lower primary years, the blogs are often used to communicate with parents and to share the learning that takes place at school. As we move higher up in the school though, the class blog has the potential to be so much more than that.
I’ve written about class blogs several times in the past, but my thinking has changed as I have watched the blogging experience unfold at my school. I have seen even the most motivated teachers become disappointed by the lack of student interest, poor response from parents and the absence of the anticipated authentic audience.
A great post this week by Andrea Hernandez, entitled Where is the Authentic Audience? got me (re) thinking. And another thought-provoking post by Kath Murdoch exploring what inquiry learning is NOT, as a way to understand what it IS, inspired me to consider class blogs in the same way.
I think that a class blog is not (just)…
Some questions to consider…
1. Do you teach students how to write meaningful comments that promote conversation?
2. Do you set aside time every day to check for new comments and discuss the comments that come in?
3. Do you encourage your students to respond to each other and whoever else comments?
4. Does your blogroll include other class blogs within your own school and are your students actively engaging with these?
5. Do you encourage your students to comment on class blogs at schools in your own and other parts of the world?
6. Have you and your students considered ways to involve their grandparents and retired people they know as a potential audience?
7. Do your students have ownership of the layout and theme of your class blog?
8. Do you frequently discuss the potential audience and purpose of blog posts?
9. Do you model good writing for your students by blogging yourself? ( A collective in-school blog doesn’t require a great time commitment).
10. Do you regularly read and comment on other teachers’ blogs and discuss your learning with your students?
11. Do you encourage students to take photographs of great learning experiences and share their reflections with the world?
12. Do you have a visitors map or a flag counter and check them every day with your class to see who has visited and where they are in the world?
13. Have you considered a class Twitter account to share learning and tweet your posts to other classes?
14. Have you thought about blogging as authentic writing, rather than another separate thing you have to fit in?
15. Do your students choose where to post their writing and thinking, with the blog as just one option?
16. Have you exposed your students to great blogs (not just class ones) so that they can discover what makes a blog appealing and interesting?
17. Have you helped your students see how blogging is different from other writing? Can they drill down to the essence of something, add images and use hyperlinks?
18. Do your students see the blog as an additional place to share and provoke thinking, and to make thinking visible?
19. Is your blog a place to continue the learning conversation from school to home and back?
20. Are you working on building a learning community which includes yourself, students, parents and other learners in your school and the world?

I think that a class blog is not (just)…
- A place to post questions, worksheet style, with an expectation that all students will respond.
- A space for teachers to assess and comment publicly on students’ writing.
- A sort of online vacuum, into which students’ writing is sucked, never to be seen by anyone.
- A compulsory homework assignment.
- Something managed entirely by the teacher, who makes all the decisions as to what will be posted and when.
- An occasionally used alternative to writing on paper.

273 - Preparar o Plano Anual da Atividades da Biblioteca
Post retirado do Blogue Bibliopartilhas gerido pela CIBE Helena Duque à qual faço um público elogio pela utilizade do seu blogue!

As Bibliotecas Escolares integradas na RBE e que trabalham em parceria quer de âmbito concelhio ou interconcelhio dedicam o mês de Setembro a ultimar a planificação de atividades. Numa lógica de trabalho em rede, orientam a sua acção para 4 domínios fundamentais, que o Modelo de Avaliação explicita, a saber:
Nesta lógica, e tendo em conta tantos os projetos de natureza local (escola/agrupamento e também concelhio), como nacional, devem construir planos integradores das diversas propostas que já existem. Relembramos as que existem e que são oferecidos / sugeridos no âmbito de protocolos estabelecidos pela RBE/PNL com outras entidades. O Portal da RBE, de fácil consulta, vai colocando em destaque muita informação. A consulta atenta ao separador PROGRAMA fornece-nos o acesso a múltipla informação:
Como forma de síntese, reencaminhamos para uma apresentação disponível na internet e da responsabilidade da RBE - Parcerias e Projetos da RBE

271 - Unesco World Literacy Day - 8 September 2012
Numa época em que o acesso à informação superabunda e em que a questão deixou de ser o acesso mas a seleção e tratamento da informação útil é mesmo importante celebrar este dia.
É de facto espantoso que este dia já se celebre há 40 anos (sinal de a questão da "sociedade da informação" já era premente antes do aparecimento da Internet...
Pena que, de acordo com informações de hoje acessíveis em http://www.abola.pt/mundos/ver.aspx?id=351475 em Portugal dez por cento da população seja analfabeta
.
Os 10,6 por cento de portugueses sem escolaridade correspondem a quase um milhão de pessoas, segundo informações da base de dados online Pordata.
(É por estas e por outras que me "dano" quando ouço dizer que há 30 ou 40 anos é que a escola ensinava... Pois... ensinava a quem ia à escola. Se hoje ainda há 10% de analfabetos, que percentagem existiria há 30/40 anos atrás!)
Fazem mesmo falta escolas, professores e bibliotecas! ai se fazem! partimos com muito atraso e temos mesmo que acertar passo com o século onde vivemos!
