The purpose of Pobble 365 (formerly Picture of the Day) is to make it easy for busy teachers to create engaging lessons. Every day, you can find an interesting picture to spark a lesson, together with writing prompts and philosophical questions that you can use with your students on a smartboard screen, or printed out with our easy-to-use PDFs.
Teachers now have access to this exciting resource whatever their time zone or term time. And so Picture of the Day became Pobble 365.

Do you find it hard to find a book that is just right for you?
Here are some hints on choosing a “Good Fit” book.
An important part of becoming a successful independent reader is being able to choose “good fit” books. In the library we have started learning how to choose good fit books. Read below to find out more about what a “good fit” book is and how to find one.
I PICK Good Fit Books
1. I choose a book
2. P urpose – Why do I want to read it?
3. I nterest – Does it interest me?
4. C omprehend – Do I understand what I am reading?
5. K now – Do I know most of the words?
Another way to find a “good fit” book is to use the five finger test. Just use this very simple strategy to select a book that is just right for you.
http://primelib.pbworks.comThe final great ways to find a “Good Fit” book are to find an author you enjoy or to read the first book in a series. If you love them you have ready made reading for weeks (or months) to come as you continue on your reading adventure!
To help you here are some popular authors and series from our own school library.
Check them out. I’m sure you’ll find a “Good Fit” book here.

Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It enables learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more self-directed and assume greater control over their own learning.
It is our responsibility as educators to not only teach our students the skills that enable them to locate, access, use and evaluate information but also encourage understanding of the social and legal responsibilities the use of technology has brought into the classroom.
There are many links below that will assist you and your students in becoming information literate, responsible digital citizens.
