Cool Tools, Thing 26: Note-Taking Tools

February 25, 2018February 24, 2018 sewaldroLeave a comment

I heard about Google Keep awhile ago and loved the idea of virtual post-it notes instead of physical ones I could lose or misplace. I loved that it synced across all my devices so that I always had the notes no matter where I was. I try to keep it open in a window on… Continue reading Cool Tools, Thing 26: Note-Taking Tools

Cool Tools, Thing 16: Bitmoji Fun

February 23, 2018February 23, 2018 sewaldro1 Comment

I love my Bitmojis! I use the chrome extension to add them to my emails, I Snapchat, and text with them. I’ve had entire conversations with friends and co-workers using nothing but Bitmoji but I’ve never thought of using them in school. Which, now that I think about it, is crazy! We were faithful users… Continue reading Cool Tools, Thing 16: Bitmoji Fun

Cool Tools, Thing 43: Google Drawings

I have tinkered with Google Draw in the past but always got frustrated and gave up on it before I’d actually finished anything. My frustrations seemed to be twofold: I could never seem to get the sizing right and, to be honest, I didn’t really get the point of Google Draw. So much of what… Continue reading Cool Tools, Thing 43: Google Drawings

Cool Tools Thing 38: Makerspaces

February 20, 2018 sewaldro2 Comments

What am I doing? This year is the third year we’ve had a maker club in our library. I do a club rather than a makerspace because I’m at an elementary school and our schedules don’t work for the usual makerspace, come when you can, work when you have the time, model. The first year,… Continue reading Cool Tools Thing 38: Makerspaces

Made it to Sedona! And yes, I did pick this place based almost solely on the name 😂
This is what my corner of the bedroom has looked like since this weekend. Work clothes picked out for this week and the week we come back from break, suitcase, carryon, and purse packed for our spring break trip AND my bag for the NYLA/SSL conference in Long Island packed and ready to go. Because I’m not just a Type A, I’m Type A+++
My workshop at the #eriecanalmuseum comes with a folder full of resources and a sweet NYS cookie cutter. 😍
Someone isn’t use to spending hours and hours with a 1st grader...
The woman who often subs for me is also the mom of one of our 3rd grade teachers and, as part of their research unit on Japan, she came in today to share her experiences from her study abroad in Japan. Every time I came back into my office today she had snuck an origami crane onto my desk...and they kept getting smaller and smaller!
I don’t care what the groundhog or the weatherman says for the next six weeks. Spring has sprung in my house.
