Day 2 of #NationalLibraryWeek! What technology are you using in your library? What technology are you excited about? Don't forget to tag: #ucmosolis #whatwedo #MyLibraryMyStory

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@UCMSchLibs Here's the newest technology in my library! Hopefully we have some time to test these out this year.

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@miss_emhannah Agreed! I'm working on getting students to read our eBooks. I got tablets, but, surprisingly, kids aren't checking them out.

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@UCMSchLibs I was going to use Youtube, but it's blocked for students. I haven't found anything yet, but I also haven't searched very hard.

A5 This summer I plan to do a lot of reading so I'm going to record book talks for each of the books I read(super scary, btw). #ucmsolischat

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@LibrarianMLS Thanks! Let's just hope they're good enough to watch, haha!

[Rebecca Williams @LibrarianMLS]

A5 Literacy means so much more than just reading books (though that’s my fave part). Digital literacy, visual literacy and book literacy all play a part and all are part of being future ready. #ucmsolischat

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@Kingoflibrary @UCMSchLibs That's a really good idea! I'll try that next year.

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

A4 For me it's been teachers who are still expecting the traditional librarian. I haven't been too successful at getting teachers to collaborate on anything. Anybody have any tips out there? #ucmsolischat

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@UCMSchLibs I have done that before, haha. I might have to do it more often. #ucmsolischat

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

@Kingoflibrary I would LOVE to bring augmented reality to my library.

[Jen Yoder @jey68540]

A3 My new favorite tech tool is Padlet. It's kind of like Flipgrid without the video part. Padlet can be used in so many different ways. In fact, I'm not even going to list how it can be used because the list is too long. #ucmsolischat

Joining the #ucmsolischat a little late...sorry! Rice Krispy treats take a lot longer than ten minutes to make. 😂 Anyway, I'm Jen, from Bowling Green, MO and I work with grades 6-12.
