Once again, I feel technologically overwhelmed. There's just so much out there, and it's really too much for little old me to process. I'm just an old-fashioned kind of gal (which I know is not necessarily a good thing at all in this profession) . I love looking for stuff on the internet, don't get me wrong, but wikis, podcasts, tags, enough already!
The most important aspect of my job is sharing wonderful books with kids. So I'm not an expert at all the technology out there-to tell you the truth, I don't care. My kids love reading, they love their library time with me, and they love me, goshdarnit!!!!! If my school really wants me to create a blog or a wiki, I'll do it grudgingly, but all the time it will take me to do that, is less time for planning and implementing great literature-based activities.
I know I sound like an old stick in the mud, but actually I'm a relatively young stick in the mud. And I'm proud of it!
(the one wiki I felt would be useful to me was Library Success, a Best Practices Wiki. Lots of great information about weeding. Other than that, I think I''ll go read some books!)
