Technology

Technology has never been something that has come easy, I think that I generally do it the hardest way possible! After being unable to view the webinars till this afternoon, thank goodness for the hints on the forum, I felt that I was unable to get anything else done until I had view those webinars! 9pm Friday night and that is done. My next task is to work on my blog, which needs lots of work! I tried adding a few blogs to follow and think that was done successfully.

My aim for this week was to continue to research for my first assessment. I was a little freaked out earlier on this week that it was all a bit overwhelming and had to remind myself that I will be able to do my study, even if it is 5 minutes between changing nappies and feeding children! Every 5 minutes counts.

I have been thinkg about what I think the role of a Teacher Librarian should be in a school Library and I am finding it difficult! From the readings that I have done over the last 2 weeks, I am beginning to realise that is (or should be) much larger that I thought. I guess my initial thoughts would be to say to work with classroom teachers to best prepare our students! I am sure that over the next few years this thought will change and develop into something much deeper!

New Beginnings

Hi!

Here is my first ever blog, hope it works properly!

I said I would never study again when I finished my Bachelor, 10 years ago...never say never! While on Maternity Leave, I found myself needing something outside of the house to fill my day and keep me feeling like there was life after (and during) babies.

After looking at the various options to do specialise in when studying for your Masters, I came across the Teacher Librarian course and it immediately took my interest. I’ve always loved reading and teaching Literacy in the classroom. Since enrolling and looking over the subject outline, I am excited about the varied and challenging role a Teacher Librarian faces.

Even if I never end up in the Teacher Librarian role, I am certain that this course will enhance my teaching and keep me same while I am at home with my children!
