Freshly Minted Librarian: Keep in touch, won't you?
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/keep-in-touch-wont-you.html
Monday, March 21, 2011. Keep in touch, won't you? Richardson (2010) and much of the reading that I have been doing for this course over the past months (many random blog posts and articles) heralds the use of Facebook as being more than I am using it for. There has to be a better way for me to use Facebook. As David Lee King. 2008) gives me hope that my Facebook page may become a relevant part of the school community but I know that it will take awhile. As of right now, I still only have 3. Sigh. That yo...

Freshly Minted Librarian: Blogs + RSS = Love
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/04/blogs-rss-love.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. Blogs RSS = Love. It’s official – I’m a blogger. When my husband and I went to Northern Ireland for Spring Break and walked past the Belfast Public Library he suggested that I take a picture of the library and put it on my library blog. If he has accepted it, I will accept it. (If only he would actually read my blog! Since September I have been tracking my first year in a high school library with a Wordpress blog ( www.freshlymintedlibrarian.wordpress.com. 8221; followed closely by...

Freshly Minted Librarian: Wiki Me!
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/wiki-me.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. It's like Will Richardson (2010) sneaked inside my head and is reading my mind! I laughed out loud when I read, "Now, I know what you're thinking, something along the lines of 'Well, I can skip this chapter, 'cause this anyone-can-do-anything wiki thing will never work in my school.'" (p56). That was exactly. What I was thinking! I tried searching for wikis in education and I ran into many of the same issues that I have had in the past - they are messy, messy, messy! I finally saw ...

Freshly Minted Librarian: A world of pod-abilities!
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/02/world-of-pod-abilities.html
Saturday, February 26, 2011. A world of pod-abilities! I'm starting to develop a slight inferiority complex because it seems that every post I write for this course starts with "Since I didn't know anything about ( insert topic of the week. I had to do a lot of research." And, yet again, this is how my post starts. Sigh. This week, Twitter came to my rescue riding on a white horse! On November 15, 2010, Hard wrote A Teacher's Guide to Using Audio and Podcasting in the Classroom. I was left with a simple ...

Freshly Minted Librarian: Better bookmarks
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/02/better-bookmarks.html
Saturday, February 19, 2011. This is how I keep track of websites that I like:. I love being able to file away a snapshot of the website in my "important papers" binder under the corresponding topic. To atone for the waste of paper, I say a small prayer for each tree that has been sacrificed for my enjoyment of this organizational system. To learn about social bookmarking, I watched Social Bookmarking in Plain English. It was a good starting point and inspired me to create a Delicious. To learn more abou...

Freshly Minted Librarian: With a name like "Twitter" you think it would be simple.
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/with-name-like-twitter-you-think-it.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. With a name like "Twitter" you think it would be simple. I've spent much of this year as a librarian reading back issues of Learning and Leading With Technology. School Librarian and Multimedia and Internet in Schools. Using lists such as Best Education Tweeple. Barnes, n.d.), Building a PLN. Cybraryman, n.d.) and Twitter4Teachers Wiki. Allowed me to find other educators with similar interests to learn from. I focused on adding people who were librarians or technology educator...

Freshly Minted Librarian: Web 2.0 Presentation Tools
http://freshlymintedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/web-20-presentation-tools.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. Web 20 Presentation Tools. This week was all about playing. My guide this week was David Kapular's recently created Top 25 Web 2.0 Sites for Education. 2011) Since there are so many Web 2.0 tools out there, it can be hard to know where to start. I had to go in with a plan. My goal: to advertise for the library. I'm such a geek, but I love it! I guess they knew that many of us skip the how-to videos because they have a mini hands-on learning tutorial as soon as you sign in to creat...
