Well, I'm already behind...I didn't get a post up last week. I really wanted to get one up each week. This week has been a busy week: Bluebonnet Orientations, Library Orientations and Computer Lab Orientations. For more information go to the website: Rummel Creek Reads, you will see a link to Bluebonnet 2010-2011 - Look for links to activities and more to keep students learning and growing. While you're on that website, check out the summer reading program for activities to do with any book. We're moving on with technology at Rummel Creek. Some of the students have already created two projects. To help keep up with everything going on with technology at RCE...check out this webpage: Rummel Creek Technology....this is full of links to all kinds of information about technology. Since you are searching through this blog...don't forget to look at the Rummel Creek Website (Library Link, Curriculum link, pick a subject) for games and activities to extend and enrich classroom curriculum. For just some fun things, check out the library calendar linked from the home page of RCE (it's still under construction for September).
Yesterday I met with a boy scout group to share with them the "back rooms" of the library. I think they were amazed at all that goes on in the library behind the scenes. Today, a few of those boys were in for a lesson - they sure sat still for the stories!
I am looking forward to Monday "off", Hopefully next week will go a little smoother with a day to pull things together! Happy Reading!

11.5 Thing #1 Inspiration and Registration

I've decided to keep the same blog, much easier to remember and I don't have to think of another name....my students did such a good job the first time around. I'm in on PDLC...so I'm ready to go.

I watched the video...I feel like a librarian would be the perfect person to be the teacher for that student. I feel like I already help students in creating the learning environment...just need to be a little more proactive on the organization and sharing...as I learn more 2.0 tools I think that will happen. Right now we're using web pages, but as students and teachers become more comfortable with wikis and social networking...this will change and we'll update things daily, hourly and possibly even sooner.
