So I went to METC last week, which is the Missouri Education Technology Conference, for those of you not familiar. It's completely overwhelming because you get all of this awesome, amazing information, but who really has the 100 hours truly needed to go through it all. I'm taking baby steps people, baby steps. One thing that I truly enjoyed was hearing Tiffany Whitehead over at Mighty Little Librarian. She presented on using technology in the library as well as keeping up/creating your PLN. She has also genrefied her library which I am super wanting to do now. Oh, and I totally want to flip my library and make videos for the students thanks to Lodge McCammon (who has some pretty sweet videos on his youtube channel) So, needless to say, I'm completely and utterly overwhelmed by the amount information I received.
Well, one thing that I sifted through yesterday was smore.com which is this amazing newsletter site where you can embed videos, pictures, audios, or really anything your little heart desires. I'm including mine below. I am so sending this to my staff and praying that they read it. I do the newsletter thing about once a month, and I'm not sure if people are reading it or not, but you know if you build eventually they'll come, right? I will also just keep sifting. It's like I'm on a little treasure hunt, hoping to find the next thing that my students and faculty will love.
And also because I really enjoyed hearing Lodge McCammon at METC here is his song over Missouri. They also did this truly fantastic flashmob when he presented.
