I haven’t posted on this blog in over three years.  I was in survival mode.  When hard times hit the library due to budget cuts, our district was able to keep teacher librarians and keep secondary libraries open, but we lost all our support staff. Teacher Librarians were essentially working two jobs to maintain the level of library services we offer our students and staff.  Sadly, there wasn’t time to blog about technology to support student learning.  Last year, our library technicians returned and life in the MTHS/EHMS library is returning to normal. It’s time to get back to sharing with staff great digital tools.  Since I last posted, I’ve become a site level coordinator of Digital Citizenship.  So I will also share items of interest I find on the web that may be of interest to our teachers to use with their students or to further their own knowledge about Digital Citizenship.

I am a beginner blogger and the purpose of Giddy Up! is to maintain a record of digital tools and teaching ideas which I share with the staff of my school.
