My Final Vision project is a guide to digital storytelling, which stayed true to my brainstormed outline, which you can read in my last post here. Most of it is a curated list of apps and resources, but the most significant portion of the project ended up being an approximately 5 minute video that I storyboarded, filmed, found sound effects/music, and recorded voice-oversContinue reading “477 – Digital Storytelling”

477 – Keeping an audience in mind
Whelp. I’m finally coming up for air. This past week has seen the world change forever in my neck of the woods and probably yours too. You maybe are even a week or more into it. Fortunately I was a bit ahead of myself in my coursework – but I know that I haven’t evenContinue reading “477 – Keeping an audience in mind”
477 – Overwhelming Visions
This week’s assignment has left me feeling a tad overwhelmed. At the start of the course, I focused on Digital Storytelling, which you can read more about in posts here (in which I narrow down my topics of interest), here (in which I find pertinent resources) and here (in which I ruminate on what IContinue reading “477 – Overwhelming Visions”
477 – Libraries Build Connections
Cerebrating on these last few weeks (yes, sometimes I do use the thesaurus), the word connection is the one that comes to mind the most, although you could argue that listening fits just as well. Library patrons, both locally and globally need to be connected and listened to in our spaces. It’s important for studentsContinue reading “477 – Libraries Build Connections”

When I first sat and pondered this week’s blog topic, I was reminded of the ‘charitable’ practice of donating used clothing. According to this 2018 CBC News article, 80–90 percent of clothing donated in Canada isn’t being resold here. Some is cut into rags, others ground down into upholstery filler, but the majority is packaged upContinue reading “477- Technology as a global game-changer”
477- Leading Learning
I just finished reading Todd Rose’s The End of Average this week. Rose, a professor at Harvard and a student who barely made it through high school, discusses how the concept of average people and standards came to be. Ultimately, he argues that although this view has played a crucial role in creating the world that we liveContinue reading “477- Leading Learning”
477 – Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…
The internet is overwhelming. According to this Forbes article from May 2018, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced every day. To use terms that you’re probably a bit more familiar with, that’s around two and a half million terrabytes of data. That’s 1 736 111 100 000 (one trillion seven hundred thirty-six billion one hundred and elevenContinue reading “477 – Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”
477 – Well… the Books Do Live Here
Warning folks – I have a lot to say about reading. Who would imagine that there would be passionate readers in a Teacher-Librarian education program, am I right? I am blessed with the best team member; a library technician who is warm and kind, a lover of books and the kids of our school. EveryoneContinue reading “477 – Well… the Books Do Live Here”
