The Beginning

I have been contemplating starting a blog after following many other established bloggers and being advised recently that my teaching position for the next school year has been cut from full time to a .5 position.  I have always enjoyed writing but never found much time to indulge myself.  With the prospect of more free time in the future, I thought I would give it a try.

Currently, I am a teacher of Computer Technology and of Judo.  I consider myself an expert in Microsoft Office Applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint and have 30 years of experience in practicing and teaching judo.  I am also a lover of books; written text, audiobooks or online editions.  I love to read!

It hit me recently that I could best serve the educational community by becoming a Library Media Specialist and finally I have been accepted into an Alternative Certification program that begins in June.  The library has always been one of my favorites places to visit and about a year ago, I began working part time as a library assistant in local public library.

The intention of this blog is bring to you my experiences and thoughts as I integrate with librarians, students and online technology updates.  I will also share websites and lesson ideas that I have found to be exciting and  motivational learning tools.
