Oh, Wow...It's still here

Encouraging my son to blog 😊

Enjoying MLIS Lawrenceburg

I have to admit that after being out of college for over twelve years, I really didn't know about taking more Masters classes, but I'm very glad this program came our way. I have really enjoyed getting to know my classmates through MLIS Lawrenceburg. I have learned so much from everybody, especially today in our presentations. Being a new digital immigrant, I was not familiar with blogging and making social connections online. Now, I only wish we had more time to chat.

A lot to do before Saturday

Thank you for your encouraging comments. This first day back to school has been good. I am looking forward to Saturday and to seeing everybody. I just have a little anxiety about presenting our research. Maria and I are getting together today to plan for it. Hoping all goes well.

A Balancing Act

Thanks Tressy and Shelley for your comments. I think every working mom knows what it feels like to try to accomplish your daily tasks (forget the entire "To do" list). We all get some feeling of guilt when we are dedicating a lot of time to any one part of our life no matter how worthwhile. Every teacher wants to be completely ready and waiting for their students to arrive at school, but it is usually difficult to have everything organized for them due to time constraints. Luckily, things eventually settle down into place most of the time.

Back to school anxiety

I think even if I had taught school for a hundred years, I would still suffer from this back-to -school anxiety. Every year, it feels like there is no way to do everything I need to do before the students come back. Every year, summer goes by a little faster. I'm just now starting to get used to being out of school for the summer. Oh well, I'm going to try to think of it as a new beginning.

Computer Hardware

First of all, I have to say how much I appreciate my group partners for their knowledge of computers and their patience with me, a novice to computers. When I first read Chapter 4 in our textbook, I thought there was no way I could ever learn all of that, but after Saturday I realized that I had learned a lot. It really helped to see the components set up, and to go over them firsthand. Thank you to my partners and Prof. McGranahan.

School Lirary Websites

I've been looking at school library websites, and I was really surprised that most school libraries don't have one. I only found a few that are student friendly- like I had imagined a good school library site would be. I have gotten some ideas about what I would like to do for a school library site. I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas.
