Windy day

Yep, that's what it feels like - windy and turbulent

Lots of thoughts and feelings realting to Teacher librarianship!!

It is actually really hard to keep up with all the readings as well as writing on a blog, reading the forums and getting your head arouhnd what exactly is EASTS and Endnote and getting a handle on how to use it all

My readings have been inspiring and not only helping me understand the teacher librairian issues but also helping me in my own teaching career of languages and visual arts and how I am going about it - am I working with the TL in my school to help her facilitate information literacy?

My early years have back in the early 70's had a mobile bus that came once a fortnight to allow each class about 30 minutes to try and find a book to read - it was all very much about getting in and out. No teacher librarian there and certainly the bus driver's job was not one that would do much more than take note of what book you borrowed.

So my readings have been good to reflect on where I was at the time some of the developments were taking place and has inspred me to look with more respect on the role a TL actually can have in the learning setting

I have also begun to tackle the first assessment task and have found it quite thought provoking to say the least - its been very good to stretch those old brain cells once again- and to put them to good use

So yes, TL's have a vital role to play in developping an upto date learning centre but there are many hindrances to them achieving this to the desired goal.

So must push forward to tackle lack of awarenss about just how much TL's can do it given the right amount of time and interest
