#TechTipTuesday – Digital Book Reviews

Every Tuesday I share a Tech Tip on our social media pages to assist our staff in their use of technology as it relates to their role.

tech tip tuesday, i love to read month, all students/staff can share book reviews direcftly on our divisional library database to be viewed by MVSD stakeholders — Tech Tip Tuesday – Digital Book Reviews. (2021). Uploaded by Kirsten Thompson. Available online at: www.fishbowlteaching.com

February plays host to I Love To Read month in our schools which serve as an opportunity to celebrate all things book-related! With February now being half done I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to mesh ed tech with this celebration. When it comes to providing digital library options, MVSD offers divisional subscriptions to OverDrive for ebooks and audio-books and many schools also utilize platforms such as Epic Books and RAZ Kids.

One neat feature of our school- and divisional-library catalogue is that our students and staff can add their own digital reviews of the books they’ve read. Student reviews are viewable by our MVSD network and provide an opportunity for students to think critically about their reading, share with a wider audience, and develop their digital footprint.
