About
I am currently enjoying teaching Information Media in a small, Quaker, not-for-profit school set waaaaay off in the countryside away from any large metropolitan area. Locals describe us as being 3 hours from everywhere (being NYC, DC, and Philly).I love being a “Specials” teacher. My classes have three strands: Literacy and Literature appreciation (K-level and up); Information and Library Skills (K-2, 3-5); and Technology (1-2, 3-5, and 6-8). I have students in small, multiage groupings.
We have a Technology Studio and believe in using it as a studio! We also have computers in classrooms, getting the best of both sides of the integration/lab debate.
I have a Master’s in Education, a history of being a librarian before becoming a teacher, and have been enjoying earning the moniker ever since I dubbed myself an accidental techie.
I am grateful to Will Richardson, who I got to hear at a workshop in Norristown. Among many other wonderful things he shared that day, he got me off my duff and actively blogging by pointing out that we need to model participation in online communities in order to build them.
This is a partial view of my bookwyrm alter ego:
