23 Things to learn while playing @ your Library has been an awesome experience this summer. Who would of thought that the world wide web could be discovered by simply follow the yellow brick road to see the magical wizard with all the knowledge. However the yellow brick road for me was following the steps provided for the variety of activities in the Library2Play online training. Each and everything that I researched and discovered in the different things brought me closer to reaching the wizard in the Emerald City and avoiding the wicked witch.
Along the way I was able to make new acquaintance's and provide feedback for their journey. And at the end of the yellow brick road I discovered that there is no magical wizard at the Emerald City and that there is no wicked witch to prevent new adventures on the Internet.
Just like Dorthy, my ruby slippers clicked together with the knowledge of what I have learned on my life long learning journey will take me back to my classroom with the skills needed to enlighten and amaze and encourage my students to be lifelong learners.
So as the new musical Wicked demonstrates there is always another perspective to the story that may be untold. In conclusion, Thank you for this awesome opportunity to expand my horizon's and gain the courage to start my new Ning: Family Consumer Sciences Web 2.0 and Beyond in Texas. Join me on this new adventure!!!!Here is a podcast from YouTube: The Untold Story of The Witches of Oz.
(I hope that you enjoy this as much as my daughter and I did when we saw the musical production here in Houston Fall of 2007).
