One tremendous part of being a teacher librarian is having a little flexibility during Library Classes. Just today I began a lesson on the SMART Board when a kindergarten student in Mrs. Terluk's class remarked on the homepage of that computer. I showed them the link to this blog and they were excited to see students they know in some of the posts.
When I explained about this blog, they wanted their picture on it. I decided this could be a different tech lesson so they sat down for a photo. The photo, taken with my phone, was then sent to my email and we knew when it "swooshed" that the photo had arrived in my email Inbox. Next step, download, then viewing the photo which is now the picture for this blog post.
Teachers love these "teachable moments" - I don't expect students to recall about how pictures to take longer than words because they have more data. They don't need to know about the Library blog. I do hope our actions engage their enthusiasm and love of learning and hope they keep it their entire lives.
