Hello! My name is Bernadette Escamilla, and I’m in my penultimate semester of the MLIS program. I only have e-port left after this semester. I’m excited that this is my last full semester of my MLIS. While I enjoy being in school, it’s difficult being a full-time student and full-time adult! I’m focusing on the public librarian pathway, with an eye toward young adult or teen librarian. I’ve taught middle and high school special education for the past 15 years. I stepped into a new role as a high school Reading Specialist last year, and I’m excited to see how what I learn in the class can add to my new role.
I took this class because it, and Dr. Stephens, came highly recommended in both Discord and Facebook groups. I also liked the idea of a Hyperlinked Library, and I was interested in learning about a user-centered and playful library.
I’ve shared some pictures below of my husband, our dog (Apollo), and some of my favorite places that I’ve traveled to.
@bescamilla I am so happy you found your way to this class right before you do the E portfolio. I hope you find inspiration here and be sure to check out the assignment overview page that suggests all the different ways you might incorporate this class into your portfolio evidence.
So nice to see your photos, especially of sweet Apollo. Welcome to the hyperlinked library.
