Coffee with a Librarian
What a whirlwind four weeks. I almost cannot believe it is over in just 24 short hours. During this summer course I have gained confidence in my ability to be an incredible librarian. I have so many ideas running through my mind and am anxious to put them into action. I almost don't know where to start.
One of my favorite assignments was using Animoto and QR codes to create book trailers. I had a blast putting mine together and have a vision of creating book trailers that will not only be on the library website but running on a slideshow in the library. I would love to see posters around the school with the QR codes on them ready for students to snap and be taken into a new book. I also already started using ToonDoo with my summer school students and was so pleased to see them excited about creating summaries over the books we had read using this new technology app. This is one technology activity that will be utilized immensely.
I have always been an organized person and love to connect with others and by joining an online book community I can keep track of my reading while getting recommendations from others. The creation of this blog has also opened my eyes to the possibilities of connecting with other librarians around the world. I am going to do my absolute best to keep this blog up and help the staff at my district begin theirs.
It is hard to believe that half of my masters degree is already complete. I know that in the blink of an eye I will be walking across the stage and getting ready to be the 21st century librarian I have always been destined to be!
