school library 2.0

Kathy Kawasaki, a participant in my Blogs & RSS course last Fall, has set up a great blog for her school library, the York Mills Collegiate Institute, here in Toronto. Have a look. There’s a lot of cool stuff going on with this blog:

Kathy reports that she’s had excellent support for the blog, from the administration, teachers, and students.
Comments enabled! And they’re being used!
Kathy has set up some excellent information pages on the blog (how to blog, RSS, and Podcasts) and reports that teachers are using these pages for more info.
Varied and interesting content, from web 2.0 tools for collaboration, to class assignments, to quirky news, to school social events.
Categories for each of the school departments.

Brilliant. Way to go, Kathy!

bloggy school

Have a look at the hardcore bloggy-ness (terrible coignage, sorry) of this school. Amazing, eh? I’ve linked to the Media Centre’s blog on the school blog listing, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to point out the rest of the site. [thanks, Claire]

welcome

Thanks to an article in the current issue of School Library Journal, I’ve been getting plenty of emails about library blogs that I never knew about. Welcome, SLJ readers! Don’t forget to let me know about your library’s blog if it isn’t already on one of the lists. Cheers!

school library blogs

I’ve been spending some time legitimately looking for school library blogs over the past couple of days and I’m happy to report that I’ve found a few. Which means, a whole new category on the links page (as promised!) with it’s own RSS feed. The crazy thing is that it took me a ridiculous amount of time just to track down a few, so if you know of any school library blogs, do me a favour and send me the link, would you?
