Information Literacy

A friend requested a hard copy of this video. I'm going to try to attach it or link it up here somehow...


This was a project for ITEC 521 at UMW-Information Literacy in the Digital Age. This was a very small class and the four of us worked together to make this video as a culminating project. We also had to write a paper to go with it that was published in the VSTE Journal.

Enjoy! I especially love the music! :)

lovely snow

The weather outside is a bit frightful but the fire IS delightful...I was glad to see that school was canceled and a bit disappointed that the doctor's visit I've been anticipating for over a month and a half was canceled. Hmm. Guess you can't get everything you want out of a snowstorm! I have to take my dog outside into the wind and the snow for a pee break, but before I do let me say that I haven't really changed my approach to my team since last I wrote. Things are still as up in the air as they were a few weeks ago. I've seen more evidence of competition on the team and people rushing to be first. I would like to think that the rushing is really a matter of doing what is expected or asked of them and not communicating with all involved. But I'm not sure. My friends at work are being really supportive. We're all sort of living in this atmosphere of uncertainty. I don't know what my job will be next year. One of our 'group' will be transferred to another school next year. The rooms and teams are being shifted around. There is a clear misunderstanding about what is going on in the county in our school. People seem to think that the transfers are going to be replaced by veteran teachers and they're not. That's just not going to happen. But I guess they will have to see it to believe it. But in the meantime, we're all trying to laugh about it.

The snow day is a welcome break from the routine. As my mother in law just told me on the phone, it will all work out. Don't fret. So I won't fret.
