Blogs in the Media Center

Blogging is a useful social interactive tool for the school library media center. Librarians can use blogs to post reading lists, booktalks, book reviews and to discuss books from discussion groups. Students can comment on these blogs or post their own views about books.

Students can design their own blogs to discuss their opinions about books they read on their own, assignments or to create their own suggested reading lists. Blogging is a method of teaching children digital literacy. It enables them to develop reading and writing skills as well as providing them with the opportunities to access, process and evaluate information.
