My blog tonight concerns Classrooms For the Future and Collaboration. Today I spent a full day at Warwick High School at a CFF English Collaboration day and I am energized with that is happening in our PA schools.
Each CFF school must have a CFF Technology coach. Thanks to an awesome coach in our school (Hempfield High School) who truly understands the integral role of a school librarian, I have been very involved with the implementation of $500,000 worth of white boards and laptop carts.
Many of the central PA CFF schools sent English teachers and coaches - with 4 or 5 districts also sending librarians. What a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with other teachers outside our school and the ideas that we started to develop within the teachers from our school today were wonderful.
Truly, no matter how much I learn about technology, the key is having the time and opportunity to collaborate with teachers. Having the skills to use the best, coolest and most recent technology tools like Web 2.0 will help make my role even more valuable.

Week 3 - Thing #6
I really like the Pictobuilder. I think this is a great way for teachers and students to share pictures with an easier way to view from a blog or a web page.
Flickr apps.
I love the Bubblr comic strip builder. This was choice # 2. The picto builder I think has more uses - but I can students really have a good time with Bubblr.

Week 3 - Thing #5
I picked this image because it represents my desire to be the coolest, savvyest school librarian I can be - which is why I am trying to learn as much about Web 2.0 as possible.

Week 1 - Thing #2
Thing #2
The hardest habit for me is Habit #4 - having confidence in myself as a learner. I always seem to be too tough on myself when learning something new - or using a new tool in my teaching.
The easiest habit for me is Habit #3 - View problems as challenges. I will do whatever it takes to solve a problem or figure something out.
