The Past Month: January

January was an exciting month as I started this new journey of doing my practicum last month. I attended Technology days at Southeast Bulloch High School on January 4, 2010.
One of the classes I attended was Glogster. We learned about using educational glogs to create interactive posters that students can use as visual aids for school assignments or projects. http://edu.glogster.com/
There are two types of glog sites one for educational use for students and teachers, and another one for general use by anyone www.glogster.com.
For students I highly recommend the educational glogs for your students.

During the week of January 13th - 15th I attended the FETC conference in Orlando, where I learned so much and so many new instructional tools in the area of technology.




Late January is also when I started my practicum at Julia P Bryant and Portal Middle High School. My home site is Julia P Bryant. This is a current picture of the media center of Julia P Bryant Elementary School, next year they will be moving into their new school that is currently being built.
So far I have had the opportunity to help weed some, work at the circulation desk, re-shelve books and catalog new books. I have also had the opportunity to read books to Kindergarten classes during assigned storytimes.
