Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. October 1, 2015. October 5, 2015. So what are they? They are Kobo eReaders. Apparently carefully crafted to deliver a superior reading experience . Funny that, because the last time I checked I thought it was the actual story itself that did that! Anyway they are light and portable and offer access to over 4 million of the best eBooks, comics and kids’ titles including best sellers (Rakuten Kobo, 2015). Check them out…. Available under Standard YouTube License. 2013) pro...

Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. October 18, 2015. October 19, 2015. Access, Access…read all about it! Can I suggest that if there’s anything more topical than the use (or not) of ‘new media’ in schools, it would have to be the filtering of access to the internet. We all know there are pros and cons to filtering access to information, and we all agree on the need to protect youth from ‘unsuitable’ or ‘inappropriate’ material. But who decides on what is and is not suitable material? This study identified...

Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. October 24, 2015. October 24, 2015. I’ll keep those thoughts for in-house or maybe even a future post! Besides, I just finished my annual review and thought I would capitalise on the efforts. So, in keeping with my first post to ‘some degree’ I thought I would share another ‘popular’ experience in our library in 2015. Working on inquiry with the entire year 7 cohort was a highlight of 2015. This experience enabled me to put into practice some of my learnings. I wonder if...
