Play Time II

Here is my Library Thing catalog. If you haven't seen the Chester books by Melanie Watt, check them out. The kids love them and they make a great readaloud.

RSS Feeds

If we had done a CI chart before I started this course, I would have had to say that I knew nothing about RSS feeds. Now at least I know enough to explain them to students and teachers and show them how to get their own. We are after all teacher-librarians.

This is a much more efficient way to keep up with the current topics of discussion in libraries. Since our time is so valuable, it really makes listservs seem like dinosaurs which have became extinct.

Here is the link to my RSS feeds.

Flickr Photo

So this is where chihuahuas come from? Too bad it's not true. I've personally had to deliver 4 litters of chihuahua puppies. One was not breathing and I had to suction and stimulate him in order to get him breathing. I'm happy to report that he made it and is now snoozing happily on the sofa as I pen these words.

I enjoyed looking at Flickr and learning all of the terms. I can't wait to get started with my own photo collection. I think this is much more fun than scrapbooking; and it's free!
