1.3 Recomendación de recursos para seleccionar los fondos

§ 1.3 Recomendación de recursos para seleccionar los fondos

1. With the Database of Abies2 we get little more than a list of titles and a genre division of fiction and science fiction if the teachers in charge of registering the works fill in these options. The main way of choosing for our students is judging the book by its cover and the blurb on the back. The graded readers that we have, especially for our students at A2-B1 levels, are divided between levels 1-6 according to their vocabulary count. But we don't have a descriptive catalogue like the one I saw under the Tools in acquisition and selection called Lupa del Cuento. I loved the layout and the summaries of the stories and I'm especially interested in the cross-reference section called Temática as shown below:






The layout of Lupa del Cuento is very attractive with the cover stamp, the coloured toolbars and the tasteful and alluring synopsis. I just read the one for the first book Bajo el mismo cielo (Under the same sky) and immediately felt like taking açout the book devour it (even if it is for little kids). Here I'm not sure if I am to mention the author of a single book or the search method that I am describing. Fot the letter I cannot find the information, so I'll just state the author of the book I mentioned (Author: Britta Teckentrup)

I wish I could have an Loupe of Fairytales for the EOI Ávila. However, creating one of those must be really time-consuming and probably stays in the realm of Library professionals. Keep on dreaming!

Here's the info I found on the creators of Lupa del Cuento:

"Lupadelcuento" es el fruto del trabajo de un equipo de profesionales comprometidos con la educación, la literatura infantil/juvenil y las bibliotecas escolares.Nuestras primeras andaduras comenzaron allá por el año 1987 con la creación "Doce-Documentos de Educación", en 1993 recibimos el "Premio Ibertex en el sector educativo" otorgado por la Fundación Telefónica.En el año 1999 creamos "Leer y Vivir: literatura infantil y juvenil" que se distribuía desde la plataforma "Educared" de la Fundación Telefónica.En el año 2015, con nuevas secciones, se transforma en " Lupadelcuento". Hemos participado en diversos congresos y cursos, publicado artículos en revistas, y colaborado a lo largo de estos años con diferentes programas del Ministerio de Educación.

2. In a similar vain I'm interested in cataloguing the DVDs that we have at school, mainly in the SpeakUp series. As with our books in the library, they appear in Abies without any kind of description or level assessment. So I'm interested in exploring the Filmoteca para Educación Primaria to see if for our material something similar could be devised. The system seems to have been set up by Javier Aisa, Andrea Aisa, Cristina García, Fernando Armendáriz y María Castejón and you can see the layout on the right.

If it were possible for the teachers to insert a synopsis of the films or a Rotten Tomatoes comment as in Wikipedia, this would make the choice for our students easeier.

Infographic

1. Infographic tool I had never heard of this thing so, again, I'm delighted to learn about this kind of stuff and assume that my colleagues and students will be too. If I can get to put it to good use in our library at the EOI Ávila, that is! I chose the first of the options in the instructions, so for my example I'm using Piktochart. I went throught the video and I liked the look of it and then I saw a template with a little pine tree. For the obvious reason that Abies has a little pine tree as a logo, I chose that template, even if the topic of the Template is something quite different. But let's see if I can get this thing to work.... By the way. In earlier Posts I had inserted some tif pictures that didn't look too good because their background wasn't invisible. Now I'm using png and it looks much cooler, you know So here's a link to my first Experience with Piktochart. I'm sure there's room for improvement. Also the Info is not at all valid...

Jenny's Bear

I'm a student in 2nbE and I've read the book Jenny's Bear by Michael Ratnett ¬ June Goulding) It's a book for little children, but I liked it because I like bears and the language is quite simple (my English isn't very good) The book is not very big and has many pictures.  It's about a girl who loves bears and meets a real bear. They become friends I won't tell you how it finishes but there are surprises. The language wan't very difficult but I had to look up a few words like: cosy den shook (from the verb shake) I read the book in 20 minutes I recommend it and I hope you enjoy it José Mª González (Group 2nbE)

Diario de Aprendizaje AbiesWeb

Started on 18/09/2017 Never worked with this yet so I'm finding my bearings Today I filled in the form about the library in our school EOI Ávila. To most questions I could anser with a YES, so it seems that our library is quite well-equipped. I'll write more later. I'm not sure whether to add things here or to create New Posts...(?) I think I'm doing both https://eoiavilabookreviews.blogspot.com.es/2013/10/jennys-bear.html So for Educalab I filled in this form on how to improve our library. We are in a pretty new building at the EOI Ávila so the library is also brandnew. I'll insert a little pic I took myself just to give you an idea. Admittedly a few things have changed recently. There  are now a few PCs on the left for people to play audio CDs, or example, that go with the graded readers that we have. For most of the questions in the Questionnaire I was able to respond with a YES, so I guess that's not so bad. Still there's room for impr...
