Week 1 - Teachbooks

 Hello everyone my name is Janeane welcome to my first blog ever. Please bare with me as I learn to navigate and create a blog. This is my 4th semester in this program and I am loving this journey so far and can't wait for start this career. This week the web-based application that I chose to explore was teachingbooks. This was a really simple and easy application to navigate. You just put in the book you are interested in and the application will pull up information about the author, potential lessons, activities, and guides for teaching the book, videos and audio of the book being read, and awards the book may have achieved. I found this application very useful being a substitute teacher. I could use this application to as lessons for the classes in case the teacher doesn't leave work for the students to do. This application was very easy and simple to navigate. I would recommend this application to teachers that need some help coming up with a lesson for a specific book. I can also see librarians using this application to come up with some fun book club activities for kids and teens. Librarians could also show kids how to use it for read alongs and to keep track of books they have completed. I look forward to exploring another web-based application next week. That's all for now hope my first blog ever was ok for now.

I think this is an important skill that students should be introduced to at a young age. Coding can help students with their problem-solving skills as well as their critical thinking skills. These are 2 very important skills that can be used by students in many aspects of their lives. Coding is a fun way for parents to help develop their child's math and literacy skills at an early age. I would definitely use this in my classes as a fun little "break" from classwork. This is a way to keep students brains stimulated without them knowing. Well that is all I have for you this week see ...
