The Magnificent Mile

The Magnificent Mile
Originally uploaded by Stuck in Customs

I just returned from a trip to Chicago! What a great place. The weather was cold and windy--just like everyone says. I definitely want to return and go down the Magnificent Mile...a mile of shopping and restaurants on Michigan Ave. They say it is really gorgeous during Christmas because the trees are lit with lights. There was so much to do and see and we didn't have much time to do anything. Maybe next time I can see Oprah!

Thing #4--Here's my Blog

Whew! I've finally finished my postings for the day and figured out how to export my avatar to my blog (thanks, Debbie!)
After reading Edublog Insights I've thought of a few ways that I could use blogs for the library. A blog would be a great interactive way to communicate with parents and students. I could create an interactive library newsletter, post pictures from library activities, form interactive literature circles or book clubs. The possibilities are endless!

Thing #3--Avatar

Here's my avatar--the Digital Goddess!

Thing #2-- 7 1/2 Habits

After viewing the 7 1/2 Habits, I think the easiest of the Habits is to accept responsibility for my own learning. Our district gives us ample opportunities for staff developments and training if we only take advantage of it. The hardest of the Habits would be to have confidence in myself as a competent effective learner. Sometimes I feel like an analog learner in a digital world. My students are light years ahead of what I know. So...here I go on an adventure...

Thing #1--Bloggin Newbie

This is my first venture into the world of blogging! I'm very excited about completing the 23 Things in this Learning 2.0 program and learning about this new digital world. My personal goal is to finish this program by February 1st to receive the iPod Nano for my library!
