What's the Hoopla?

Within sessions I strive to achieve what we might call media balance, using a variety of materials including hands-on, paper, and digital. If I feel the plan involves too much tech, I try to adjust. This has been a helpful model in supervising graduate students too. At the start of each semester, I encourage each of them to make sure they get a library card and visit the local library to practice identifying actual books they can use in therapy sessions. A library card is also essential for the resource I want to highlight here: hoopla!

hoopla is an extension of public libraries' digital resources (note: I speak as a Boston Public Library patron and this may not be available to all who read this- check with your library or their website!). Of course, Overdrive/Libby are great for digital books that sync to your Kindle app (I use on iPad or Mac), but I rediscovered hoopla entries recently when looking for books on my library's website. hoopla has a wide range of picture books, many on SEL topics from authors such as Julia Cook or Bryan Smith:


I have a learner who really gets into these books, posing great questions. Some SEL books can be a bit black and white, but with our teaching we can infuse nuance and neurodiversity-affirming approaches.

hoopla also has a range of short movies created from picture books, which can be terrific for media balance, engagement, and providing animation which creates narrative and interpretive opportunities.


I hope you find your way to hoopla!

      I think it's a great extension, it's hard to find some books for students. They had to find it on every book or library store. Instead visiting those stores they can easily get from this extension. I will have to use it for my CIPD level 5 assignment help, it's going to be helpful for many other students.

    When someone is looking for context or clarification on a situation, they frequently ask "hoopla." It's a slang term meant to elicit more clarification or knowledge. It frequently denotes interest or perplexity and calls for discussion to clear up any doubts or ignorance on a specific subject or incident.

    Hoopla is all about making a big fuss or excitement over something, but it can also be a great way to add some fun and energy to everyday conversations. Curious to see what everyone thinks makes something worth all the hoopla!

    I focus on media balance in sessions, mixing hands-on, paper, and digital tools. I encourage graduate students to get a library card and explore resources like hoopla, which offers a wide range of SEL picture books. It’s a great tool for school text services and therapy sessions. Check your local library for access!
