Reading+Reading+Planning+Teaching+Reflecting

Oh my the weeks are flying by
I planned another great teaching day
Only to be reflecting on the issues that will not go away
The children keep talking not matter what I say
Oh to be a new teacher
If only a fairy godmother with a magic wand would come my way to make it all a lot better
The plan for next week is to have learning time and break time
30 minutes learning means 10 minutes of play
Teacher librarian reading has focused on the who, what, where and how
And I now have a jumble of ideas that need to be ordered before the 23 August comes around
I have found another blog maker so if you have the time have a butchers hook
http://megantl.edu.glogster.com/megtopic2tlrolestatements/
So onto topic 4
To clear the floor before that 501


My thought for the day is: are Teacher Librarians a luxury in a school or an essential human learning resource

Time wasting has started already

Well I have now reorganised the desk and filed teaching materials. I have pulled weeds. But I will not clean the oven until this semester is finished.
To more serious matters I have read one of the essential readings, mulled over issues of libraries in the 21C and can see great divides between theory and actual practice. I can see a very changing role of librarians in future but I still hope in this era information literacy there will still be time for sharing the joy of reading and how this can contribute to our social literacy.
Tomorrow I will complete my program of reading and assignment writing (well hopefully..)

Oh No! I have an audience

To All Followers I now feel compelled to write something of interest. 
It could be a very long session.
Anyway to update my first entry. The above entry was copied from my second attempt at setting up a blog. Which was an "Edublog" setup. This I ditched in favour of the google version because I can control the look and feel of the blog. That was only after my very first attempt at 'Wordpress' which I ditched again because of the look and feel. So now you my journey to setup Meg's TL Symposium and why the first blog requests info on how to change the blog.
Lesson one: read and edit your blog before posting.

The New World of Blogs

Well here we go into the world of teacher librarian. Many ideas and confusing thoughts at the moment.
After reading Covey I am now stressing that I haven’t done my mission statement or prioritised my weeks schedule.
Still one day at a time even though a weeks planning is recommended.
I had wanted to design my own site  bit more. If any one has any ideas how I can control the layout of my blog, your ideas would be welcomed.
