My Day

Began my day by chasing down a few members of our “100+” club: patrons with book overdue 100 days. Nothing like that personal touch.

Checked in a projector and buzzer system that were on loan to staff.

Updated the header banner of the school site with an 3-D project image and an elementary art display.

Shared an article with the HS art teacher about the observational integrity of cave-painting artists. Happy to see a student has begun a library chair painting based on the 1980s!

Loaned out three cameras to students in Spanish class making videos. Helped one student bring his green screen clips into iMovie with a hands-on tutorial and set up the tripod and green screen for another group.

Hosted a MS AIS class researching biographies for Women's History Month: Rachel Carson, Isadora Duncan, Amelia Earhart, etc.

Followed through on a faculty request to draw a life-size anonymous figure for a presentation later this week. She had seen the figures I created for our Olweus bulletin board in the library.

Showed a returning 8th grade student how to get up and running with SketchUp so that he might make a 3-D object before the MakerBot moves on.

Our littleBits crew updated their remote-control three-wheel rover with lights that brighten as the ambient light diminishes! Filmed it against the green-screen and made a 15-second video for them of it “roving” on Mars.

Began distributing the BOCES Media Fair entry forms and posters.

Flipped through the new SLJ. A short article on how Google has made it easier to identify copyright-friendly images caught my eye. So I took some screen shots of the process, voiced-over a slideshow, and posted it on the Library home page.
