While surfing the Web, and checking out the scoop.it links that we follow, I came across some interesting websites that may be of interest - and some use – to others. Take a look.

Pearltrees is nothing less than a reinvention of how we organize the web. The service provides a completely unique and visual experience to saving your favorite websites, organizing what you find interesting, and even seeing what others are saying about specific web destinations. Pearltrees is a great way to organize, discover and share the stuff you like on the web.

Many students are reluctant to plan – especially when it comes to schoolwork - and this means they sit staring at a blank page for ages when you ask them to write an essay. Graphic organisers are a great way to get them started, and an interactive online one will probably appeal even more. This looks like a nice one – and you can print them out afterwards, so they have a record of their plans.
Check them out and see what you think.
I will be on six months leave starting from Monday, but Carrie will continue to post and keep this blog running – and I will post every so often as well. By the time I return, I hope to have lots of new ideas about ensuring our libraries here at Barkly College continue to be the hub of the school.
