Bookmark Project | Skype Project | What people are doing for ISLM 2014
The ISLM Bookmark Project involves matched schools making homemade bookmarks (any style, shape, etc - be creative) that reflects the International School Library Month theme.
Once again Breege O'Brien of Ireland will co-ordinate the 2014 Bookmark Exchange Project. Register early so that you have plenty of time for your students to create some wonderful bookmarks. Those schools taking a Summer break soon might find this beneficial for planning purposes.
The Bookmark Exchange Project is a simple, fun way of sharing the pleasure and delights of books and libraries and of making new friends through school libraries worldwide. If you and your students did not get involved last year perhaps you will in 2014. If you have a matched school early enough you may wish to your students communicate with each other before you make your Bookmarks exchange in readiness for International School Library Month in October.
If you would like to become involved in this project, you will need to send the following information to the ISLM Bookmark Coordinator, Breege O'Brien at islmbookmarkexchange@gmail.com.
Matching will be taking place on a regular basis between August and the end of September.
Please note the following:
Please register for the project as soon as possible so we can set up your match by sending the details about to the Bookmark Project Coordinator. If you have already sent us your details and have not had them acknowledged by the end of August please resend them.
For more information or to add your name to the list of participating schools, contact:
Breege O'Brien, Bookmark Project Coordinator, at islmbookmarkexchange@gmail.com.
Coordinator: Gerri Judkins
Would your students like to talk to others in a far away country during International School Library Month? The trick is finding someone in a time zone where you can link up via Skype during a school day.
Join in the fun! If you would like to be part of the Skype Project, email me and I will share possible schools for you to connect with. If you have any questions, please email Gerri at gerri.judkins@southwell.school.nz.
