One of the greatest challenges as a teacher is finding the right resources to support the delivery of the planned learning resources. Trial and error isn’t always a strategy that works when you are faced with tight financial limitations. Pouring through catalogues, resource guides and online sites isn’t always the best use of time either. Given the expansion of the technological classroom, the search has become harder rather than easier as the range of available sources soars.
We’ve all been faced with the scenario of finding the perfect resource after the need for it has passed. If only there was an easier way to keep track of the good ones as we find them.
I loved the blog Boys blogging books. The concept of using the blog to not just review books but to promote reading to a specific audience was a great idea. I've done this oldschool as a ratings wall, where we voted for favourite books. Nothing beats the power of a child recommending a book to another child - I'll read it because my friend said it was good, rather than I'll read it because I have to. The appeal of your name in print for others to see .. I'm not only a student, a reader but now I'm also a reviewer that my peers look to for advice on what's a good read.
Flip the coin and my mind is racing to a review of resources for teachers – the thought of a way to find the perfect resources :)
