Digital Book ReviewToolkit - iPods and FlipVideos in our School Libraries

Funds from the 2007 Capital Override were used to purchase a Digital Book Review Toolkit for each SUSD school library. The Toolkits include a FlipVideo camera, an iPod with microphone and a battery operated speaker for playback. Book reviews will be uploaded to the online library catalog, to library web sites and to SUSD's iTurnes channel.

Teacher Librarians received training in how to create and upload digital book reviews at a workshop on February 17, 2009. Information on this page was distributed at the workshop.
