Meme : Passion Quilt
Tagged by Memo I’ve picked…. this picture of Venec because two weeks ago was Bring Your Kid To Work Day.. so Venec asked me, “How do you know about all these websites?” He had already figured out that I help people find information, and he helped me help people do so, but he was also really impressed by I Can Has Cheezburger. I told him that the best thing you can do is to always, always, always for the rest of your life ask people questions, always. This photo best captures that. Last year at a Basque festival he asked how to use my picture phone. Then he asked questions of others.
I am tagging Gina P, William, and Melody!
Here are the rules:
- Post a picture from a source like FlickrCC or Flickr Creative Commons or make/take your own that captures what YOU are most passionate about for kids to learn about…and give your picture a short title.
- Title your blog post “Meme: Passion Quilt” and link back to this blog entry.
- Include links to 5 folks in your professional learning network or whom you follow on Twitter/Pownce.
Readership Galore
Audio books really saved me while I was in grad school. It was an easy way to relax. I could listen to a book while cleaning or doing laundry. I took a seminar with Nancy Pearl (who happens to be hosting an essay contest right now!) and readership and readers advisory became really important to me because I remembered that as a kid that books changed my life, and they led me to my local library every day. I got my first job shelving the art books at the Shrewsbury Public Library.
I’ve been really excited about a combination of things: 1 - I can get dearreader in my email every night, with samples of books that I might want to read, or might not, 2 - I can download the audio book via Ada Community Library with NetLibrary!
Right now I am listening to Jonathan Safran Foer’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and relaxing.
