Hello Everyone, I 'm a High School Librarian here in Western Pennsylvania and every morning - at least 186 days a year - I get up a 5:15 a.m. to make it to work my 7:00a.m. to face 1100 wonderful ninth and tenth graders! I truly love my job, and my District has really made some great strides the past few years at building a great infra-structure, increasing the hardware that is available, and encouraging teachers to become more techno-literate. So going back to school for a //Masters in Online Teaching// seemed like a natural fit. I have already taken two other classes and enjoyed them both and I'm looking forward to learning more with all of you.

= Grade Level/Discipline: = Intermediate High School Librarian (grades 9 and 10)

**Few Facts about myself:**

 * 1) **Fact 1**: Before becoming a school librarian I managed a Wine & Spirits Shoppe - so if you want to know whether or not serve the cabernet sauvignon or the pinot grigio with your shrimp tonight, just ask.
 * 2) **Fact 2**: I'm the treasurer (my husband is the President) for the Butler Chapter of the [|North Country Trail Association] - the longest National Scenic Hiking Trail in existence - running from the Finger Lakes in New York to Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota.
 * 3) **Fact 3**: I love to travel and would like to visit every state some day. (Unfortunately I won't be doing much traveling this summer until after my courses are over.)
 * 4) **Fact 4**: I enjoy reading, gardening, music (I sing in my church's choir) and getting together with family and friends. I also take yoga and zumba classes!


 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:** How to relate to and provide better resources of information for my students. After all they are digital natives and I want to embrace their digital talents rather than ignore them.


 * My favorite game(s):** Scrabble (just starting to play online), Trivial Pursuit
