Meet Sonja Cole From BookwinkDecember 9, 2006
My role at Bookwink is to find and read books I think kids are going to really respond to, and then I do the booktalk. Reading the books and preparing the booktalks is the easy part. The most difficult part is filming the video. At first I completely underestimated how much I depend on an audience of kids. It is much more difficult to be natural and convincing when it is just me in front of a camera. I have a whole new respect for TV personalities who make it look easy! A.B. Are there any blogs and/or books you highly recommend for readers? S.C. LM-Net I can't recommend it highly enough. Even though a list-serv seems kind of retro in our blog and podcast world, lm-net is a great way to connect with the world that librarians live in. It's like a big block party where all your neighbors are super-friendly and helpful librarians.Teaching for the Future This weekly podcast gives an insightful perspective on incorporating technology into teaching in a meaningful way. PW Weekly I subscribe to the free Children's Bookshelf weekly e-mail newsletter for bestseller lists and new books that are generating buzz. There are four blogs I read regularly for their attitude, insight and great book suggestions.
