Interactive Learning: Padlet
So many options right now online learning. If you’re an educator, you’re probably overwhelmed. If you’re a parent, you’re probably overwhelmed. If you’re a student, you’re probably overwhelmed. This is a time of uncertainty and the unknown. I totally don’t want to overwhelm anyone any more than they already are. With that said, I will…

Rev Up Learning: Zoom!
By now, Zoom is not a new word in your vocabulary. However, a week ago, most of you possibly would think I was talking about getting a closer look with a camera lens.

Podcasts, Vodcasts, Vlogs…Huh?
I love listening to podcasts…I’ll be honest, I don’t normally listen to them from the teacher or librarian side though, I like to listen to them for the sheer pleasure. I absolutely love to listen to Ted Radio Hour, The Chalene Show for health and fitness reasons, beauty secrets and tips from The Skinny Confidential…

Cartoons and Comic Strips? Why not?
I use to have a bad taste in my mouth about comic books. Not necessarily because of data or something I read about them being a bad influence, I simply was not into comics. I grew up in a house full of girls…like straight up GIRLY girls and comics just weren’t our thing. As I…
