LS 589 - Sadly the blog has become not as fun. It is easier for me to share things I find interesting on Facebook to my page that I have created there. I feel like I have 300 things going on now and am in need of a way to track all that I am undertaking besides working on lesson plans for my full time job, working on SMART goals for our new evaluation system this year and keep 3 children in clean clothes and fed :P
Now my rant aside ~ I really like the way that Jing ( http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html ) looks. I have talked it up to my coworkers who are the specialists at my school during our common planning time. They were excited that we could create 5 minute videos and present them to students. Being that we are an elementary school we have stations/centers within in the library during a 45 minute block and the science teacher is working hard to implement stations/centers this year. I have already figured that if I create videos that are 5 minutes in length then I can have my students use a laptop and my creation during their station time to view what needs to be viewed safely and hopefully effectively. On that note I have yet to start my creation but have been brainstorming what I could do for my mini lesson within a lesson. I believe that I will share an OPAC introductory lesson that would be within a scavenger hunt lesson. This year I am also working on automating my library finally! So far I have 2022 books automated ~ whew! Can you believe in 2013 we are just getting this! Crazy!!!
Ok so note to self~ don't forget to blog here, add a bookmark to diigo (Diigo.com) , create a discussion response and reply to 2 people's post each week. Ok~ got it ~ or so I hope! Oh and don't forget the projects. Adding them to my calendar now!

LS 589 - Class has proved to be very eye opening. I have to read about wiki's yet but love using a blog and now even blogger is sharing to my google+ account and I think that is fantastic as I have more than one place I usually post to!
I have found a couple of things to share this week.
The first thing is about edcamp! I attended an unconference while at the MTA conference and found it to be an awesome thing. I really want to attend another one and there are actually 2 that I could attend on the same day. The first one is in Rhode Island or I could do the uncamp online which is the first time that they have attempted to have the conference online before!
The edcamp online link is : http://edcamponline.weebly.com/about-this-event.html
The link to future edcamps near you is http://edcamponline.weebly.com/about-this-event.html
The second thing I have to share is about Library teacher tools website = http://libraryteachertools.com/ The website also have provided an excellent article on
Strategies for Collaboration in the School Library . Although the website asks you to join for the full site I have found a couple of things that have helped like the link above about strategies.
