School libraries and online resources. Bedrock Learning, Massolit and more: Insights from school librarians

Listen "School libraries and online resources. Bedrock Learning, Massolit and more: Insights from school librarians"

Episode Synopsis

This week we are returning to the topic of online resources for school libraries. Back in November we chatted to school librarians about how school libraries could provide online resources on a budget. This time however we are looking more closely at 2 resources that bring something else to teaching and learning. The first is Bedrock learning, the second is Massolit, and for those with very little budget we are including some free ones for you to consider too. 
In this session I am joined by my co-hosts and school librarians Sabrina Cox and Ruth Maloney and our guests are also school librarians Gareth Evans and Clare Brumpton.
