Back to School Again

I had really planned to write weekly on my blog and provide information about how the students at RCE were using the Web 2.o tools....well....things have not started off well, we're into the end of September and I haven't written a thing....I thought I'd write from home, but the last few weeks have been home without power...so today I write.....

After spending so much time at home without power, internet, or phone....I have come to the conclusion that balance is so important....as a librarian I can share both the wonderful world of books (and how children can escape into a new world) as well as share the newest technology available. Students need to have access to both...they each have a place in our lives. I have been so excited to hear my students return from Ike talking about the books they read and shared over the days they were at home. It's nice that they went back to the books.....they were probably more exciting than the hot nights at their homes. Next week we'll hit technology again when we're all up with power....tonight...I think I have power at my house (I've heard it through the grapevine)....so I'll enjoy a read at night with a real light. Maybe tomorrow my internet will be back up and I'll find the web again....
