Reflecting...Finally.

I made it!  Woo!  It's that time of year again, the end of the semester!  But oh we aren't done yet, I still have on more assignment to go. It's the reflection itself.  Nope sorry, you don't get to here me ramble on the semester here, you get read a story about it!  I used Bookcreator to write a story about my time in LSSL 5391.  In order to view it though, you do need to be using Chrome.  here is the link:

Look at my story to get my thoughts and a look back on the semester.  Before I end for the day, I would like to give a shout out to my partner this semester, Jaime Vezurk.  One of the best partner's I've had the pleasure of working with, and without whom I could not have done some of my assignments (literally).

      Exactly my thoughts! If everyone added a little humor and took things a little less seriously, when they could, the world would be a better place! Mr. G, the kiddos are going to be lucky to have you as their librarian!

    Thanks for the great example!! I was unsure of what to try and I think I was overthinking the final product. I enjoyed the humor and the pictures you took! Students will love book creator and can use that platform is so many ways! Good luck in your future as a librarian :)

Casting Screens

   Today I'll talking about screencasting.  A screencast is a essentially a video of your video screen.  I first became of aware of these when I started my library science classes, as a few of my professors used them to demonstrate various processes on the computer.  They are very useful for showing details on how to access things on the computer or even show how to do an assignment.  Now that I've experienced making them, I plan on using them for my classes the coming school year.  I already give a lot of instructions online for each class, now I can also leave video for them demonstrating what I want them to do.  I could even make screencasts on how to access and use the resources available on the library website.     I tried out two different screencast programs.  The first I tried was Techsmith's Snagit.  This program is not free, but does offer a free 15 day trial.  One thing that was kind of neat, is that the p...

Reading the bluebonnets

Hello!  Now that I have a break between my classes, I can post about books again!  The next series of books I'm going to post about are on the Texas Bluebonnet list.  I decided I'm going to read all of this year's list and do my part and vote on my favorites.  So without further ado, here is my first review of one of the bluebonnet books! Rhodes, J. (2018) Ghost Boys . New York, NY: Little, Brown and Company  Jerome is a good boy.  He usually listens to his parents, tries not to stand out in school, and does his part to help at home.  Then one day, after a new friend gives him a toy gun, he is shot by a policeman.  As a ghost, he wanders around, wondering why he's still around.  At home, he has to deal with his families grief, and he doesn't have the ability to comfort anyone.  In fact, the only one who can see him is the daughter of the policeman who shot him.  Jerome has to learn to deal with his own death, and how he can he...
