I spent my hour exploring Tinkercad  and I’m glad that I did! I have used Hour of Code for several years and that is always a popular activity with my students. I have many librarian friends with 3D printers, but I have always been a bit nervous to try them. I think this school year…

Google Expeditions I thought the Google Expeditions were so cool! I spent some time visiting the Coral Reefs, because I wish I was near the water right now. I really liked having a screen in between sharks and myself. Students will love being able to go under water and see the beautiful sights and sounds…

I make lots of presentations as a school librarian. Sometimes they are to share with a certain grade-level and sometimes they are to share with my co-workers. I have used most of the presentation tools that were suggested, so that helped my decision on which one to use. I love using Prezi, because it is…

I really enjoyed working with easel.ly to make my first infographic. I went very simple and showed the favorite colors of my family members, including the cat. This website was easy to use and manipulate. My students would be able to research basic information and make infographics of them. I think they would really enjoy…

The funny thing to me is that most of the video content we are learning about would have been foreign to most of us two years ago. With school shut-downs, virtual teacher and Covid concerns, many of us have tried at least some of these tools. Many people joke that they wish they bought stock…

Audio Tools are another adventure that I haven’t dabbled with very much. I think they can be very useful in the classroom and library. (My next year to-try list is getting very long!) I think my students would love recording themselves reading and listening to themselves and others. What an amazing way to check for…

As a school librarian, mother and reader. (Two of those for a decade now and one for much more). I must admit that I have never dabbled in using Podcasts in school or in my personal life. Some of my friends have suggested them, but I haven’t taken the time to enjoy any yet. I…

I’ve used Big Huge Labs before, but I thought this Bead Art feature was really neat. Perler beads were a big part of our life last year, during Quarantine. All I had to do was upload my photograph and it turned it into bead art. I think my students would love taking pictures and playing…

My son won his PTA Reflections contest with this photograph this year. He said that I could use it for this assignment.
