My Bio "twitter"
Style
I'm the library media specialist for a K-5 building
who enjoys books, tinkering with technology, and any drink from
Starbucks. (The
Venti Version)
From
Taste-Tester to Tech Barista
My
journey with the Moveable Feast began over 13 years ago at the
University of Illinois in Urbana. After years of being a Feast
"regular," I joined the team of tech baristas in 2006. Almost
every technology skill or tool I apply today has been nurtured by
District 87's staff development opportunities.

Venti Views ... My Feast Advice
|
» |
When a Starbucks addict carelessly gulps
freshly brewed Pike Place Roast, s/he is
likely to burn taste buds and become
somewhat desensitized...for at least a
few hours. 6+ hours of tech
exploration per day can lead to
haphazard learning if you simply inhale
one resource after another, without a
plan. Caution:
Pace yourself.
Dive into as many Feast resources as
possible...sip, sip, and sip some
more...but think about long-term
learning, too. Choose a tool to
organize or "tag"
web resources to savor at a later date. |

Build a P.L.N.--some
call that a
personal
learning
network,
others refer to it as a
passionate
learning network. Use this week to
network personally and digitally...look
for resources that will keep you
percolating through your tech journey.
