TECH TIP: BoClips for Teachers
BoClips for Teachers is a new search engine for finding videos to use in the classroom. You create an account and this allows you to also save your finds and you can also see how your search term is in News videos. All are from vetted educationally appropriate sites and there are no ads. Could be a good alternative to the distractions of YouTube.
BOOK TIP: The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
The American Library Association announced its Youth Media Award winners last week. This includes the Newbery Award, the Caldecott Medal among others. The Michael Printz Award goes to the best literature for young adults and this year's winner was The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo. It is a novel in verse about a young Dominican girl growing up in Harlem. She longs to be a poet and be free of the restrictions of her body, her family, the church. A moving novel.
