Boot Camp

I am here in Cedar Falls today at the AEA conferecen room. At noon, I delivered a lunch-side chat that told the story of my journey from teacher-librarian to art teacher/librarian and back to librarian again. I was nervous but ended up reading some and talking some - so I think it was a good combination for me. I didn't think I would get laughs, but they felt good when I got them... appropriate laughs at the right time.  It has been  interesting to look over my teaching career the past few days as I have been preparing this talk. To  see how the continuity of technology integration into what we were doing in the library from day 1. Actually. I had forgotten all of the tech courses I had taken over the years and how it has helped form the teacher I am.  One who believes in collaboration with teachers and integration of technology.  Anyway, we are creating a Blog at this point in my day,  and I already have one up and running, which I have not used since the end of the WEB class I took. I am thinking that this might be a FORUM for teachers to talk about their technology anxiety and get support from our colleuages. Greetings from the summer boot camp and hope to see you soon.
