Check Out My Updated Webpage!

I have been working really hard on creating and completing my media center website. It is now complete. It has lesson ideas and helpful links for teachers, research tips and reliable sources for students, helpful tips for parents, and a community volunteering page. There is no current link to a live library catalog, but that will come eventually. I also have a page about myself with links to my recent projects. Please take the time to look at the site. Any comments are welcome. The website is chsmediacenter.yolasite.com

Thoughts on Technology in Education

Technology can be useful, but we need to take care in how we use it. Students are going to be exposed to technology whether it is included in school curriculum or not. For this reason I believe it is important to teach students information literacy skills. I think it is important, however, to really think about the other uses of technology in the schools. We need to make sure that technology is really helping our students, and not just there to entertain them.
