Cool to be Clever: Edson Hendricks for iPad - Digital Storytime's Review

Cool to be Clever: Edson Hendricks for iPad - Digital Storytime's Review | Readers Advisory For Secondary Schools | Scoop.it
Overall, this is a phenomenal title that presents non-fiction content in a more modern way, letting kids explore and learn at their own pace, with or without narration. This title would be great for lessons on bullying, the Internet, biography and more. Struggling, older readers will also benefit from having a title tailored to their interests with the option to listen rather than read (although text does not highlight). This is truly a must-download title. My highest recommendation!

 

An excellent free book app with appeal to readers from 8 to adult. Well reviewed by Carisa Kluver. Find more digital story reviews on this page.

'It came from a book' contest encourages teens to create art from literature

'It came from a book' contest encourages teens to create art from literature | Readers Advisory For Secondary Schools | Scoop.it
What do you get when you cross a publisher, a photographer, a young adult services librarian and a creative advocacy project? The first-ever "It Came from a Book" art contest! A group of dedicated individuals and a children’s/YA publisher are hosting the contest in anticipation of Teen Read Week on October 14-20. In short, teens must create a piece of artwork inspired by a book they’ve read and submit a digital photograph of their work by September 30. All photos of the submissions will be on display on “The Library as Incubator” website during Teen Read Week. People can vote for their favorites throughout the week, and the site will announce the winner the week after.
