Working with a group

The thought of a group assignment sent shivers up my spine.... I know a lot about running a school library and am quite good at solving  practical, every day problems which may occur at school. I am called upon quite often to act as a mentor for people in new tl positions and get quite a lot of help emails which I confidently answer or find answers for.... but to hold my own in an academic group  and sound good via email or chat sites is not my strong point. I cant even type very fast... so yes I am worried about my contribution to this assignment. I did tell the others that you are only as strong as your weakest link which was pointed out at the orientation day and hey thats me... To make matters worse our group was to be only 4 people... so I couldnt even hide.... Well my first encounter with my group confirmed my fears... they could all talk the talk,,, they are all confident and busy young people who wanted to get this Powerpoint done quickly and efficiently.... oh dear what did they think of having this old stone age ... tl on their team...
Our first 'neat chat' confirmed my fears.....

Late night blogger

It has been a long time between blogs.... but I have my library program done and a bookfair nearly complete and of course the other things life throws our way. It seems like a decade ago that I was lucky enough to attend the Syba signs seminar in Sydney... I had such ambitions of coming back and tackling all of those wonderful things that Dr Joyce showed us and showing them to the staff and being haled library super hero.... that was on the train on the way home.... but I am going to conquer one thing at a time and become an expert on its use before I show anyone... I have done that with storybird. The kindergarten storybirds have been running on the whiteboard during the bookfair ... is an amazing backdrop and showcases just what some of the children do in the library.... so little steps ... this is truly an exciting time to be a teacher librarian!!! Thankyou Joyce!!!
