- About Me:
- I am proud to be a public school teacher. I am a Teacher Librarian. In my school district, my title is Library Technology Educator, but every time I hear that title, I think of the teacher in View From Saturday (let the reader understand the meaning). I teach Information Literacy, and I teach Technology skills. To the extent that I am able, I integrate projects into the regular classroom by collaborating together with classroom teachers. The purpose of project learning is for students to learn about the tools and techniques of research — but they learn by doing research. It’s authentic learning. The purpose of all learning is for students to become independent; it’s for students to become lifelong learners. Doing research and putting technology projects together are the skills students need to survive in the future. This is literacy in the 21st Century.

There are several full and 1/2 time openings (two can be combined to make one full time) in our district (Red Clay Consolidated). The school district contact is:
