Dot Day

Yesterday was International Dot Day. Dot Day was created in response to Peter H. Reynolds’ book, The Dot.  It is a day for encouraging creativity and challenging people to make their mark.  We celebrated Dot Day all week in the library.


Every class got an opportunity to color a dot any way they wanted. We then used the Quiver App to make those two dimensional drawings three dimensional.  The students were so excited to see their “dots” come to life!





Yesterday was also Powered Up @ Your Library Day.  This is a day to help broaden the awareness of library services and to promote libraries as vital, technology-centered institutions. Using the technology of the Quiver App in conjunction with Dot Day seemed to be a perfect union.
Everyone really enjoyed this week’s activity and I hope that I can find a way to bring Quiver back into the library again this year.
