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...

3.1 Visualización de la Biblioteca

For this exercise I have used Google Slides because of its similarity with Powerpoint. I have made several interesting Powerpoint presentation over the past 10 years and my with that program might serve me to do a decent job with Google slides. This is actually my first intent to present something with this platform. I tried to include some of the elements we have been seeing during the course Bibliotecas Escolares y el uso de AbiesWeb. I'm quite satisfied with the new material I'm learning about. Google Slides is one of the programmes I've been waiting for to explore, because I have many occasions at school for which we are interested in publishing some kind of presentation or Slide show. I hope this Presentation is to your liking and that it meets the requirements of exercise 3.1

2.4 Gestiona los Lectores

Gestiona los lectores So, I met this groups of singer/songwriters and they all wanted to take out a book. I had to make them members first and screencapture the process. I thought maybe it was nice to have the students alphabetically interesting so I started with A for Adele B for Bruce  Springsteen C  for Cher          D  for David  Bowie E  for Ed  Sheeran        F  for Freddy Mercury        G  for George Michael                                    H for Hugh Laurie (apart from being House , he also sings and plays instruments) I wish I had time to do 26, but this is quite enough for our purpose. I saw that there's room for a picture in AbiesWeb (also in Abies2, by the way), so I asked for their photographs and they all made selfies! It's a nice bunch, what? The...
