Thing 1: Blogging

Hello all!  My name is Beth Davis and I work at Berne-Knox-Westerlo CSD.  I have been a working librarian for 15 years.  I'm married and have a seven year old daughter.

My hobbies include reading (surprise, surprise), Broadway musicals, golf and Mah Jongg.

I am taking part in this CDLC program so I can keep moving forward.  Technology is always changing and I want to learn as much as I can so I, and my library program, can keep changing too.

This week's reading reminded me a lot about why people blog as well as letting me see many forms of blogging.  I especially liked the YouTube video "Blogs in Plain English".  I never thought about comparing blogs to journalism before.  The video was easy to understand and I would use it with a high school class or as part of an in-service with faculty and staff.

What a great first week of the program.  I look forward to next week's lesson.

  1. Those videos from CommonCraft are wonderful. Such utterly simple explanations.

    (p.s. picked up some yummy Blue Spice Thai tonight.)

  2. Hi Beth,

    I grew up in Berne (maiden name Miller and related to all of them and most of the rest of the residents).

  5. This is such a great way to get to know people! I love your page ... this is the one I thought about using and now may have to reconsider going back and changing my template! With this week's new lesson, I'm going to RSS all the Cap Region SLS blogs. I look forward to more of your postings.
