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!
