Multimedia

I created this multimedia presentation using Glogster. You can access this tool at: [|http://www.glogster.com]

I designed the presentation for upper elementary students. I think some students overlook the nonfiction area of their library unless they are required to find an informational book. I wanted to create an advertisement of sorts to highlight a few resources that might be of interest, while also providing some information about the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Since I am not currently in a school, I chose a subject (science) that is of interest to me and then narrowed it down to topics (dinosaurs, insects, birds) within that subject. Hopefully, students will find the interactive elements and featured books in this presentation interesting enough to walk over to the actual shelves to see other titles that are available.

If I had my own library, I could create a Glog for each of the ten main classes of the Dewey Decimal Classification system and use it to feature new titles. I think it would be an easy way to promote new resources in the library! If I have students enrolled as library aides for elective credit, creating Glogs could be an assignment I could give them.
