Tumblebooks Service Initiative

2. First off I compiled a comprehensive list of Tumblebooks for the teachers. In this list I noted the reading level of each book, the point value. It is divided into sections of the type of ebook that it is, i.e. Tumblebook, TumbleTalkingBook, TumbleReadable.

3. Power Point tutorial introducing and explaining Tumblebooks.

4. Secondly, I created a Power Point presentation that gives an explanation of Tumblebooks. In this explanation, I stated what it was and why it was a valuable resource, how to use, and the type of student that it would appeal to.

5. Made both available for teachers and students to use.

6. Both the compiled list of Tumblebooks and the Power Point presentation will be made available to the teacher in two different ways if they wish to use Tumblebooks in his or her classroom. First they will be saved as files on the desktop of all teacher classroom computers. Next several copies of both will be printed out and catalogued for teachers and administration to be available for check-out.

7. On each student computer there will be a shortcut on the desktop to get to Tumblebooks. There will also be a printed out list of the Tumblebooks for each classroom for students to consult while trying to choose a Tumblebook to read.

8. Notification of new resource available will be e-mailed out to all teachers and administration and also added to the TV scroll theat runs throughout the school.Due to limitation in time, there is no time to do a formal training meeting for all staff at the same time. I do feel that this is the best way to get the word out because this is how they currently are notified about new things in the media center. However, I will encourage all staff that are interested and need help, to come down and I would be glad to walk them through the process.<br />Contribution<br />I think that this project contributed by putting two things together that may have otherwise not been put together, Tumblebooks and Accelerated Reader. Tumblebooks are great resource and even though on the Tumblebooks site there is Accelerated Reader information, you have to click on each book individually to get the information. Sometimes it is missing or even incorrect. This project puts them in a user friendly list that is readily accessible. Also the teachers may not appreciate the resource if it did not help achieve Accelerated Reader goals. I don’t know if all the teachers will get a meaningful use out of this but I think that the teachers that are looking for something different to reach students or even something that is right there in the classroom, this is a pretty good, handy, already paid for resource. I think that the reading teachers would definitely appreciate the resource too, because there are some lower level titles available.<br />I am not sure of the longevity of this service-initiative. I think that it would depend on the success of its use and if it is actually helping in the classroom as a practical resource. It is definitely something that would require some maintenance, because as new titles are added a new list would need to be compiled.<br />Below is the compiled list of Tumblebooks with Accelerated Reader Information:<br />With Accelerated Reader InformationThere are three types of media listed in this collection:TumblebooksThese are animated talking picture books. They use narration, music, and moving graphics to tell stories.TumbleReadablesThese are readable print books. They can be read aloud and the sentence can be highlighted as the sentence is read.TumbleTalkingBooks. These are online audio booksTumblebooks, TumbleReadables, and TumbleTalkingBooks are an excellent way to achieve Accelerated Reader points. Below in each collection you will find the Accelerated Reader Book Level and Point Value. If there is no level or value listed, the book is not known Accelerated Reader.Here is the complete list of all the TumbleBooks in the collection: TumbleBook TitleAuthorBook LevelPoint Value1 50 Below Zero Munsch, Robert 2.4 0.52 ABC Letters in the Library Farmer, Bonnie 2.7 0.53 Abra Cadabra and the Tooth Witch Karlin, Nurit 4 Ace Lacewing: Bad Bugs Are My Business Biedrzycki, David 3.2 0.55 Ace Lacewing: Bug Detective Biedrzycki, David 3.5 0.56 All Aboard The Dinotrain Lund, Deb 7 Always McGhee, Alison 8 Animals Black And White Tildes, Phyllis Limbacher 9 Animals in Camouflage Tildes, Phyllis Limbacher 3.0 0.510 Art's Supplies Tougas, Chris 1.9 0.511 Bad For Them, Good For Me Zevy, Aaron 12 Bears We Know, The Silsbe, Brenda 2.7 0.513 Beautiful Moon Jeffers, Dawn 1.7 0.514 Bebe Goes Shopping Elya, Susan Middleton 2.3 0.515 Best Excuse, The Feinman Moss, Ellen 16 Best Mariachi In The World, The Smith, J.
