September

I was finally kicked out for the summer! I feel I have been living in the Library this summer to get it ready for kids this September. On Tuesday, the staff will see the new arrangement of the library and hear about my curriculum goals for my first year. I want them to enjoy the new open space that is now in the library and to be excited about bringing their children into the library. Here are some pictures!

Podcasts

After reviewing other blogs, I came to find three Podcast that I will now subscribe to. I found the podcasts very interesting. However, I am a visual learner and have difficulty just listening. I will do my best to keep up with the podcasts but will not be surprised if I end up reverting back to reading the information.

Great article about Multiple Intelligence followed by a video.

The MediaSnackers podcast focusses on individuals, organisations or companies who are simply impressing us and crying out for more discussion.

A weekly webcast on the EdTechTalk channel of the WorldBridges network

Check them out and let me know of any others that you think I should be listening to.

Also I created a Podcast for my upcoming Library website. I used Garageband and uploaded it to iweb. I added sound effects and page turn signals so kids can follow along. Take a listen.
