It was rescheduled multiple times due to Covid but was so worth the wait! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681217927 2021-08-17 00:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681217927 We enjoy a variety of music but some of our favorite memories come from small venue, country concerts... which we miss a lot! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681220884 2021-08-17 00:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681220884 I began teaching in the Fall of 2008 and taught 7th grade on the same campus for 11 years. dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681223884 2021-08-17 00:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681223884 During my 3 years in Athens, I have taught 7th grade ELAR, served as the Instructional Coach & Testing Coordinator, and most recently moved into the Library! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681225321 2021-08-17 00:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681225321 I graduated from UNT in 2006 and began my Masters at SHSU during the Spring 2020 semester. dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681227100 2021-08-17 00:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681227100 I LOVE the fact that technology is now such an integral part of our school libraries. I originally thought the next step in my career would be Instructional Technology but once I started teaching reading and realized my passion for helping students see themselves as readers and my passion for technology could be found in one place, I knew it was finally time to start on my Masters. dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681235871 2021-08-17 01:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681235871 I was an early adopter of the Google Certified Educator program and worked my way up to Level 2 certification (which it's time to renew!). While I love all things Google, I look forward to expanding my horizons in other technology applications. dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681237417 2021-08-17 01:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681237417 I would love to hear your opinions on emerging technologies that should be considered for updating our middle school library! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681240494 2021-08-17 01:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681240494 I inherited a library that was built in 2000 but was a treasure trove of books and supplies from previous campuses. While there have been several fun finds of library history, there are also enough artificial flowers to open a shop and some really old and moldy (yuck!) books! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681243888 2021-08-17 01:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1681243888 I am currently taking Computer Science Applications for Librarians as well as the Master's Seminar. I will graduate next May after completing the practicum and my portfolio! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682578890 2021-08-17 17:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682578890 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682583416 2021-08-17 17:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682583416 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682584048 2021-08-17 17:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682584048 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682584639 2021-08-17 17:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682584639 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682585203 2021-08-17 17:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682585203 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682586194 2021-08-17 17:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682586194 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682587051 2021-08-17 17:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682587051 There is still lots of room to grow but the students are excited about our new flexible seating, digital display, and soon to come books and charging tables. dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682593684 2021-08-17 17:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682593684 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682594111 2021-08-17 17:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682594111 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682594479 2021-08-17 17:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682594479 dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682595756 2021-08-17 17:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682595756 While I consider myself fairly proficient in technology, actually putting skills like cataloging and barcoding to practice for the first time has me feeling a little tentative. It will continue to be a learning curve as I organize and promote our library but I am excited for the opportunity! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682629231 2021-08-17 17:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682629231 I would love to learn some resources and best practices to start building an eBook/ audiobook collection for our campus! dentonchristin https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682669803 2021-08-17 18:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonchristin/o2u5k9zlst9o332e/wish/1682669803
