Blog Readers


After viewing a few feed readers I narrowed it down to three. I download the apps to my phone in order to test them out for a few days. Feedly, NewsBlur and Panda were the three I analyzed closely. Ultimately, I chose the RSS reader Feedly. Feedly is very friendly user, I enjoyed that it was simple and easy to use. The app shows the most current articles and blogs that I chose to follow and to view the next blog or article, you only need to swipe or scroll up. NewsBlur is a great RSS feeder but lacked the simplicity as Feedly offered. Panda allows users to customize the way they view content, which is a wonderful feature but the app was not very appealing as the Feedly app. Panda only had two columns that features popular and latest articles but I had a hard time trying to figure out how to add my own blogs and articles. The blogs I chose to follow include:
1.       https://www.thedaringlibrarian.com/
-          This blog includes information about technology that can be used in the library, reading summer list, media resources for librarians. I chose to follow this blog because I would like to stay up to date on resources to use in the library and how to integrate technology.
2.       https://elementaryschoollibrarian.wordpress.com/
-          This blog resembles the Pinterest layout which was really appealing to me. The blog features books that are appropriate for an elementary librarian. I chose to follow this blog because it include a variety of books that are great to share with teachers and students.
3.       http://librarylearners.com/blog/
-          This blog includes how to information about library centers, organization tips, strategies for librarians and so much more. I chose this blog because it includes information that I would like to incorporate into my own library, also the author of this blog lives in my hometown!
4.       http://www.elementarylibrarymama.com/
-          This blog incudes Library lesson plans, library resources, technology integration ideas and literature recommendations for the Elementary Librarian. I chose this blog because as a new librarian this blog will be a great resource to have when looking for lesson and resources.
5.       https://www.mariacmarshall.com/blog
-          This blog features children books, particularly picture books. This is a great resource to access when searching for books for the library.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS This is a popular book series in my classroom of third graders, so that is why I feel like it is appropriate for that age.

Response to Principal

This assignment was for LSSL 5337. Here is an audio of responding to a principal remarks of "do we really need libraries" with all the information we can find on the internet? This assignment sparked interest because this type of remark is very common. When i tell people what i an pursing my masters for i get responses like, "you need a masters to become a librarian ?" or i even heard this remark "Do you have to take a class on how to say shhh" These remarks are all too common, so i think that by practicing a response is very important and can help new librarians face these issues. So i have included my response in this blog post. Please let me know what you think? Is it convincing? Click here to hear the message Thank you!
