Catching Up


It turns out the LMSs will get laptops too with a trade-in. We're very happy about that.
I suppose it's pretty pathetic that I'm spending a Saturday morning blogging, but my dog woke me up at 5:00 today so I got all sorts of chores done early. Don't let the picture deceive you -- he's cute, but not at 5:00 a.m. I decided to look at some of my colleagues' blogs, do some of the 23 things, etc. I looked at the articles and found it encouraging that the president of Toshiba felt compelled to write about information literacy, making some good points as a matter of fact. Also, for the first time I skimmed the results of last year's MILP. I thought the teacher and LMS survey info was very interesting. Too bad about the pre- & post-test data. I hope this year's data is more reflective of what the project accomplished.
I'm mulling over where on my webpage to put a new section called "Helpful Blogs." I found some consumer-related blogs in the paper this summer that would help kids & staff, but I can't really post them on my Reliable Online Resources page, because I can't vouch for every blog like I can for the ROR sites. Maybe on the Research page --- nah, maybe not. I'll have to think about this some more.

I love the picture of your dog! You look like you have been busy too! Also, how did you add that cute picture on the bottom of your blog that moves? That is so great!

Just find any free animated icon sites that are ok with using their icons, put one on your desktop or in a folder and upload it just like you do a pic.

Very cute dog!

You've left great comments on lots of the blogs. Thanks!

And great that your MILI community is looking at your blog as a central source for info.

And...Hurray for the laptops!

LOVE THOSE BOOKS!

About Me

My photo
Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....
