Excited about my project idea...

Today I spoke with the librarian at my school to discuss my project idea. I asked her if it would be helpful to her if I helped with the workshops to educate teachers about the technology available to them in the library. I explained that I would actually have a great deal to learn first and she was willing to help me with that. She was more than willing to help me with my project because she liked the idea that I would be taking some of the burden off her shoulders, I believe. She said that instead of presenting this information at faculty meetings, she was just planning to start a series of workshops called "Technology Tuesdays" offered only on Tuesday afternoons after school. I told her that I would love to participate in these workshops and possibly offer a "second chance" workshop to those teachers who couldn't make the first one. That way, teachers won't feel obligated to attend these meetings and they will be more receptive to learning the information and using it in the classroom. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to teach teachers! I have always had a love of technology and I am eager to keep my knowledge current. I just have to clear it with my principal first. Hopefully he will be willing to work with me. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
