About Me
I am a teacher Librarian at a Senior Secondary School, working with student in Years 10-12. I am also a Yr 11 Coordinator, and my main focus is on engaging kids in their own learning.
What I've been doing

What a fantastic journey. One of the best learning experiences I have ever had, and certainly the most comprehensive since finishing my studies. Also the most challenging and enjoyable.
Where to from here? Certainly a more Web 2.0 focussed library after lots of thinking and planning and implementing what we have learned. Blogs, Wikis, MySpace to [...]

This has been so enormous. What a fantastic array of ebooks and downloadable podcasts of books. If ever I thought I needed an MP3 player and a palm pilot (is that right?), now is the time. It became overwhelming when looking for books I would like to download, and so many alternatives came up. A [...]

Second Life would be a huge inclusion in my educational journey. I can see so much learning and interaction happening and it seems to have an island or an educational institution for every interest. I was amazed that Harvard, Stanford, Deakin and other very reputable institutions are using Second Life to promote online learning. Who [...]

The explorations of You Tube and Teacher Tube have been so much fun and have been part of my researching for quite a while. Our VCE teachers have been including YouTube and TeacherTube footage in their lessons for quite a while, so these are obviously fabulous resources. The kids need to be managed but [...]

I took your advice and looked up Radio National Podcasts first, then followed up with Educational Podcast Directory and Yahoo Podcasts. My favourite podcast site was the Book Club on ABC, so it has been added to my iGoogle homepage as a RSS feed - a permanent literary fix. The address is also in my [...]

I have played with Rollyo for a couple of weeks now, and looked at the suggested search rolls. I like the idea that you can create a specialised search based on particular topic websites - like beaucoup, which I have used a lot.
I created my first Rollyo search roll to search current affairs. I [...]

I have read and looked at and explored a wide range of wikis over the past few days. I had a few misconceptions fixed through this exploration.
Wikis are not all like wikipedia, which most people use only as a source of information. They need feeding.
Wikis need a dedicated band of contributors to keep them [...]

Well, I worked it out! I am now connected to Del.icio.us through the widget and should be able to use it very productively. I was trying to tell the widget where to go, but it already knew. I just had to add my login, not the whole address. Again I should have been more perceptive. [...]

I have created my del.icio.us account and had a fun time adding all my favourites to my new bookmarking site. The use of the buttons made it SOOO easy to add every website I have ever found useful, and the tags were great for separating personal from work from web 2.0. The sites we were asked [...]

As you can see, I added my blog to the RSS feed, and now it is possible to share "Big Kids' Stuff" with others.
This blog was created as part of my participation in the Victorian School Libraries Learning with Web 2.0 Program...Re-imagine...
It has been such a great learning experience for me as you can read in the posts, but it also keeps me interested in exploring new things and using them in my Library.
Please read, and share my journey.
