Hello, all! My name is Emily, and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am entering my third year as a middle school librarian (schools around here give the title of “librarian” without the degree). Before that, I was a middle school English teacher for 9 years. I’m taking a few classes this fall, and I’m planning to do my e-port in the spring. It’s pretty exciting to be this close to being done, although I still have a lot of work before I’m done!
I signed up for this course in part because I feel that I have a lot of room for growth in this area. I’m not especially tech savvy, and I’m hoping this will help! Also, it’s an area of need for my e-port evidence, and I remember enjoying Dr. Stephens’ videos from INFO 200.
Outside of work and school, I spend time with my family. We love camping and hiking when we can, and my daughter and I tend to enjoy playing together quite a lot. She thinks of the most fun imaginary scenarios, which keeps things interesting! We also have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake, some chickens, and a tarantula, so things can be pretty lively around here. I love sewing, especially for my kiddo, but I definitely don’t have much time for that during the school year. I am, however, going to do my best to sew her Halloween costume that she recently requested. After my e-port is done, I plan to sleep and sew excessively!
I’m looking forward to this semester and seeing everyone’s blogs! Here are a couple of pictures of my kiddo and our dogs.
