Dr. Farmer came today and while I was glad, boy was I nervous. She was very supoportive and positive when we debriefed. She also has a way of making you think about your practices by asking good questions. I am really thinking about combining genre and the digital library...perhaps it was sort of a forced marriage of concepts. The lesson went well, although I feel that I lost the kids toward the end when they were working on the computers independently. Nothing terrible, just not what I had pictured. Dr. Farmer was right that the assignment/project being extra credit lowered the stakes a lot.Also, Ms. Cortes had an emergency and could not stay so the kids felt a little more free to drift.

I cannot wait to be a TL. I want to TEACH in the library! After all my fieldwork hours I realize the impact an active and innovative TL can have on literacy and learning is endless.
