Help Is on the Way: Bibliotherapy Mashups Can Provide Students and Teachers with Handy Literature Resources
Simkins, Michael
Technology & Learning, v27 n7 p36 Feb 2007
Finding the right book with a main character successfully coping with a situation similar to the one he or she is facing and having it on hand are very real obstacles. With today's digital technologies, however, and a bit of innovative maneuvering, this could be a challenge of the past. This article discusses a futuristic approach used to deal with and help students, parents, and teachers to overcome traumatic experiences. The solution is a mashup, a Website that brings together content from two or more sources in some interactive way. Developing a mashup is not creating new content, but rather pulling together content that already exists on the Web and displaying it on the Web site in some new and useful combination. To coin a term, the bibliotherapy mashup is a resource that could be added to a class or school Web site where both parents and students can find literature to help them through difficult times.
