My First Voki

I started building my school library website last year using Google sites.   I finally created a multimedia tool to reach out to students and parents online.  I used my own voice (with a cute accent) to tell kids how to take good care of their library books.  I created this within an hour, plugged my microphone, wrote  a brief script, embedded to my web page, and there it is!!!! A simple interactive message for all!

Library Book Display

After the storm, I will come back to work to set-up a book display corner.  This will allow me to show books that are never opened or even borrowed from my library shelves.

But as of now, I am enjoying this two days vacation.  Frankenstorm is here!

Frankenstorm in East Coast

It took a storm for me to create a blog about my life as a library media specialist here in the USA.  All the scary warnings about the storm made me realize that I am bored, late at night around 12:30 a.m., listening to heavy rainfall.  I just hoped that I will not lose my power.  I have been creating a blog since 2001 but I think I will be very, very serious about this one.

I have been in the US since 2008.  I’ve witnessed history in the making when President Barack Obama was nominated and won the election.  I have experienced the painstaking cold season and the burning hot summer.   I love autumn though!  First time I saw snow, I felt like I was in a different planet.  I have been a library media specialist for five years now, and I am loving it!!!

I would like to reach out to my fellow Filipino media specialist here and around the world.  I would to benchmark, collaborate, and share ideas with all of you.

Knowing that we are far away from home and experiencing this dreadful disaster.  Oooopss, this is nothing compared to Philippines.  But the reality is, we prepare for disaster before it even hit us.
