Week One--Blogging

This is Connie Cragg--hoping I am not the last to complete my 'thing'. I am the librarian at Jefferson West Elementary and Intermediate schools in Meriden and Ozawkie (on beautiful Perry Lake,) where I teach 22 classes of K-5 students each week, with one aide, a new Alexandria Library circ/cat program, new tech support via a commercial computer company setting up our district system, and a lot of new technology to learn and use. 'Things' have not all been 'smooth sailing' this year! But maybe we are on the right track?!

I decided to enroll in '23 Things Kansas' to motivate me to learn more about social networking technologies and how to use them. I must admit that I am not a big fan of electronic communications and the idea of sharing your thoughts, feelings, and musings (as in a journal or diary) for everyone to view--just seems wrong--but I am willing to be convinced! One big plus is being connected to other librarians and I am looking forward to learning about Library 2.0. Connie
