Thing #10

After reading the newest task I was motivated to work on my sad library website.   Unfortunately I have to create it using Contribute of which I am not a fan.  I can't seem to get the kinks worked out but I am working on content for now.  I visited the sites that Polly listed for examples & resources and it certainly lit a fire under me to create a website that will be the first place my students go to when they log on the computer. I am working on using Share Book Box - see example below! I haven't been able to get it to work on my webpage but it worked ok here! I also loved the idea of the digital portfolio for students and the Professional Portfolio examples given. I will be working over the summer with a small group of teachers about what we need to be doing for our HS Students and I believe the digital portfolio is the way to go!
I met with the photography teacher and discussed creating a library photo contest as seen on the Milipitas High School Library site.
I also saw a lot of book lists..."Twi-Likes:  if you liked Twilight try these..." so I put some work into adding some different book lists to my page as well.
I love the library sites that were blogs..they were engaging, current, fresh  but I couldn't find  a way to add a blog to my already established website....if anyone has any ideas...I would appreciate them!
Now I plan on attacking some pathfinders...
