Hello All!
I am so glad to be back to blogging. I kind of missed it but never seem to have time to write. The Cool Tools PD is a great "excuse" to get back to it.
Let's see, my name is Rosa and I have worked as a Children's Librarian in a public library, a reference librarian at a college and currently a school media specialist at Lincoln Park School 44 in Rochester. I absolutely love reading to children. It is so much fun to see their reactions when different things happen in the stories. Today we made a "word wall" of Miss Nelson is Missing and the second graders drew pictures of the characters along with the words. (Will put up a photo later).
I decided to take this PD because this is my first year as a librarian-teacher. I want to be better equipped to teach fun technology to my students. In the beginning I was focusing a lot on making copies and having the students work on worksheets. (How they whined and protested). However, I realized that the school library should be a fun place where you can check out books and learn how to be tech savvy. With this in mind, I hope to incorporate all the fun things we will be working on in this program.
Hi Rosa, what a nice blog! I was looking down at your prior posts and was interested in epals. My principal has a project with a school in China this year near Bejing and I'm wondering if that would work for the students to connect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan! Nice to "see" you are in this class. I think EPals would be great. Let me know if the class gets to use it.
DeleteGreat blog! Glad to hear this program brought you back to it. Hope you'll post the word wall photo. Sounds like fun. Love you approach to the library. books, fun and tech savvy! Hooray!
