Library 2.0

Each new change in technology is invariably overwhelming to me and "23 things on a stick" was almost more than I was willing to tackle but here I am again...curiosity takes the cake.

While upgrading to Library 2.0 is probably a major issue for public libraries, we who are in rural k12 schools are more than likely "swimming in the stream" that the administration and local economy dictate. Our students' requirements must be met so we learn what we must. On the other hand, the students have become so computer-savvy that I often seek their knowledge when I have trouble with a software problem. I am thankful to be working in an environment that provides numerous resources for "techy" education!

It's cold up here

...and the cats are in the house. I thought we were through with animal sluf when our long-haired cat went to heaven but here we are with the three outdoor cats in the house because it is -25 outside. Oh, well, enjoy the adventure. So far they have only shredded one fallen leaf from a houseplant.
