This summer has provided me with some great professional development opportunities, including my first ALA Annual Conference<\/a>, a training at school on Social Emotional Learning<\/a>, and EdCamp Watson<\/a> today. After chatting with my friend and new librarian Laura Foy<\/a> at EdCamp, I was reminded of a fun book mark design contest<\/a> I did several years ago. This inspired me to come home and design some back to school bookmarks for our library. Shannon Miller<\/a> blogged recently about using friendmojis in the library<\/a>, and I was inspired to add bitmoji Ms. Kramm and Mrs. Whitehead to our bookmarks.<\/p>\n I created these bookmarks in Canva<\/a>, using this great background photo I found on Pixabay<\/a>. I wanted to include important info about our library, like our hours and website<\/a>. Since our middle school students are 1:1 iPad, I made sure to include a QR code that will bring them to our website with our library catalog and databases. They’re being printed by OvernightPrints<\/a>, so I made sure to follow the dimensions and instructions they provide for design. I can’t wait to get these in person so I can share them with students and families at orientation next week.<\/p>\n Looking forward to a great 2018-2019 school year!<\/p>\n ************************************************<\/p>\n Update 10\/17\/19:<\/p>\n Canva has these great bookmark templates<\/a> now that you should totally check out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s hard to believe that summer has slipped away and it’s time to get back to school. It’s always exciting, hectic, and a little overwhelming this time of year, but it’s also a great time to reflect on summer learning and make plans to try something new. I’ve been Bitmoji obsessed for a while now.Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,27,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pd","category-reflections","category-resources-links"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AldrichLibrary.jpg\")
