My First... just for practice

Old Dog. New Tricks.  You know the story.

But brace yourself for a new story.  Just like gluts, quads, and biceps, the more you use the brain, the better your quality of life. I spent a few decades at the front of a middle school classroom, teaching life science, and I loved it.  

Until I didn't.  

I was determined NOT to be the teacher that phones it in, making do, slumping along.  Time for new tricks.  Learning keeps everything fresh - your brain, your personality, and your outlook on life.  I learned how to be an instructional technology specialist.  You would not believe the notes I took.  Digitally, course!  Check out this picture of my notebook.  That long column?  ALLLL the tabs in my notebook!  Each with all their own pages.  Yikes!

Then I decided that my last career could be school librarian.  Immersed in books, surrounded by kids, collaborating with teachers -- bliss.  Back to grad school, where learning was a daily occurrence.  New tricks popping up like a digital game of whack-a-mole.

Here I am, now blogging, a brand new trick. Let's see how pretty we can make this, not to mention helpful.  Because that is what school librarians do!

Anna, out

It’s Open… C’mon in!

  A seemingly simple invitation that could spell pain.  Imagine yourself with arthritis in your hands.  All doorknobs might look like this.   Happily,  that is NOT the only way to enter a room.  Look at this simple fix. Now the door welcomes all visitors with a pain-free invitation!      This is an example of a concept called Universal Design.  First applied primarily to architectural decisions, it refers  “to the idea of designing spaces, products, services, and more in a way that makes them as functional as possible for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds” (Spina, 2017). Since Ronald L. Mace proposed the idea of Universal Design in the 1990s, there is an emphasis placed not on fixing the world for the disabled, but instead on improving usability across the board, for every human.  And we use the word “human” purposely, as does Don Norman, the author of The Design of Everyday Things, in this video about the b...

A Curation Persuasion - 11.15.21

Many school librarians are currently waiting for the other shoe to drop.  They are waiting to see if someone in their community is going to approach the podium at the school board meeting and blast them for having a copy of Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give or George Johnson’s All Boys Aren’t Blue.   These books do exist in our town’s school libraries. I interviewed a fellow high school librarian in November to find out how she curates her collection in this current climate.  The American Association of School Librarians has outlined best practices for curation in the National School Library Standards.  The key commitment is for librarians to “make meaning for oneself and others by collecting, organizing, and sharing resources of personal relevance” (AASL, 2018).  Bobbie has been a school librarian for ten years, and an English teacher for 12 years before that.  She has always been deliberate in her purchases.  She uses Follet Titlewave to select the books...

It slipped my mind

There are so many things in the bin for the thoughts that have slipped my mind.  Other thoughts stay with me forever.  Back when I was a new, green teacher of middle school life science, I was just learning the difference between monocot plants and dicot plants.  I was terrified I would mix them up and that their different characteristics would slip my mind.  (Since I know you are wondering...) (image courtesy of The Amoeba Sisters.  https://www.amoebasisters.com/parameciumparlorcomics/monocots-vs-dicots ) I studied pictures. I looked for examples of each in the wild.  I figured out the benefits of each type of root in different types of soil. Using all that knowledge, I was able to plan lessons, activities, and labs for my students.  That final step was when I really internalized the difference between the two.  I had created something new to show my understanding.  Well, well… look where I ended up. In the best possible world, teachers wan...
