All About Me
I am a mom of two girls, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. Our house is busy, crazy, and messy! Currently, there are markers and playing cards spread throughout the family room, along with a cardboard house-in-progress. The couch cushions are set up as an obstacle course, and my older daughter is standing on her head...she lives most of her days upside down.
I am a teacher-librarian-maker. This means my life is filled with books. I love books, both in print and online. In fact, the table that I am sitting at right now has 11 books on it. And they are all ones that I am in the process of reading. A colleague once said that a tech guy told her not to buy any more books for her school library because "we won't be using print much longer". WHAT?!?! I love reading on my iPad, but there is something about holding that object, cracking it open, and turning the pages one by one. The smell of it, the feel of it, the joy of it!
I am a learner. Again, the books. But more than that, this attests for the time I spend searching and tweeting and curating. I love contemplating thoughts, ideas, and questions being asked about learning. Getting my own kids outside to splash in muddy puddles, hunt for frogs, ride bikes, watch the clouds move across the sky...exploring our total environment for learning opportunities.
