HELP!!! My brain is full!


I'm pretty sure no-one has ever actually died from brain overload, but I do wonder how close people get, especially considering my experiences over the past two and a half months!

Hours upon hours of reading, processing, discussing, applying and evaluating to be followed closely by more reading, processing, discussing, applying and evaluating........
And I don't see the end anytime soon!!

So, what is occupying the space inside my head?

Where do I start....

In the words of Julie Andrews,
"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start........." (courtesy of The Sound of Music).

The role of the Teacher Librarian - WOW!!!!

So far removed from the quiet, stern "older" lady who likes order and musty smells!

Today's Teacher Librarian is a Teacher, Librarian, Leader, Collaborator, Information Specialist, Technology Leader, Fiction Advocate, Manager, Curriculum Specialist (Herring, 2007; Purcell, 2010)......and so the list goes on.

Then there's Guided Inquiry and Information Literacy in the 21st Century, Inquiry Based Learning and Information Processing Models..........

And the whole area concerning RESOURCES!!!

Obviously, we need materials in our school libraries that help kids learn and teachers teach.
But how do we find them???

Well, that's a whole other post!

I think I need to rest my brain................
