What’s new? nothing really. After reading the two articles set for us at the beginning of Module 6 relating to , there was nothing I would call new in terms of Time Management. A more relevant question is what can I take and effectively use for my own practice? I have learnt a lot throughout […]

Assessment 3: Part C
The role of the Teacher Librarian is one that I thought I had a grasp on before embarking on my Masters journey. I quickly became apparent that there was more than meets the eye, which I wrote about in one of my early blogs From Book Custodian to Book Wizard. A lot is asked of […]
Guide me!
I have been churning through Module 5 in preparation for my third assessment piece. Well, can I say I think I need some guidance through all of these concepts, reflections, analyses and research. Although, it is a lot to take in I can already see myself expanding on my previous knowledge. The hard part is […]

ALSA Standards – my new friend!
Creating a differentiated program that supports the learner curriculum, teacher, while incorporating Information Literacy, ICT and now digital Technologies, and encouraging a love of reading, is no easy feat. Challenge Accepted! To succeed in my new challenge I need support. The Australian School Library Association (ASLA) Evidence Guide provides examples to give focus to how […]

From Book Custodian to Information Wizard
Librarians are commonplace in our lives from very small children to adulthood. Specifically, in this post I am reflecting on, and referring to, Teacher Librarians (TL) from my own perspective.
