SLANZA Te Tai Tokerau
Term 2 event, June 2018, Whangarei
Getting books in hands and on devices: promoting print and digital reading options
Come along to hear about ways to get students reading, digital and / or print books.
eBooks and Audiobooks
We'll start the morning with Wheelers who
will demonstrate their ePlatform. Bring your own device if you'd like
to have a hands-on session exploring what it looks like and how it
works, otherwise just come along to hear all about it and how it is
going in other Northland schools.
After a brief SLANZA AGM and a lovely morning tea, our second guest speaker is
Megan Davidson, the teacher librarian at Westlake Girls' High School who will share the art of booktalking to engage readers.
Megan
regularly book talks a pile of books to students and then stands back
as they rush to the table to grab the titles they are keen on. It
doesn't take long to give a hook into a book, but it is a powerful way
to get the students eager to find out more. Megan was recently selected
to participate in the World Booktalk Championship Competition!
This
morning professional development is suitable for primary, intermediate
and secondary school library staff and interested teachers. All very welcome.
