What are your favorite games on the Switch? I love all the Mario games, but especially Yoshi. I blame my childhood!

You can do it! I am in 4 other courses (5 total), including a section of 285 (do you have Jefferson?). Yes, I agree with you about making technology easier…. taught kindergarten during the pandemic and was quite the experience, among other things!

I took this class because some parts of technology I am ignorant in, but want to learn…. hence yet another question- is Feedly free to use? Says free sign up on their page, but don’t know anything about it.

Sandy is probably a whole different experience- I garden in the Bay Area but between destructive ground squirrels and clay , it has been a interesting adventure.

Probably a silly question, but I am assuming we can change formats of the blogs as we write them? For example, can we dabble in a couple written, a couple video, a couple podcast, or would you prefer us to choose a format and stick with it?
-
@crain Yes – any manner of media is fine for blogging. I have a post about that queued up soon.

Our fifth graders always did “bottle biographies”- decorated a two liter like their historical figure to go along with their report, and some dressed as their character as well. Presented to younger grades.

Hi Jennifer!
I love that your school had favorite book character day for Halloween. One school where I worked had historical Halloween, where students chose an historical figure to research and then dress up as, and we had a timeline (not a parade!) to bring the whole school together – it was always fun to see who was chosen the most in any given year, and how the students came to pick who they picked.
Where in Australia did you live when you studied abroad? I lived in Perth and Geelong for about 1.5 years total many years ago, and loved it. I’d happily move back there.
Your quilts are beautiful! My college roommate and I learned to quilt while we were in school, and her skills have grown exponentially (she’s an art professor now, and fabric arts are part of her classes), while mine have poked along slowly but I’ve made my way to Hawaiian quilting, which I enjoy, though it takes me much longer depending on how quickly I get into the groove of the applique process. Do you have any favorite quilt artists?
Looking forward to learning together with you this summer!

I want to move away from traditional quilting and more towards art quilting. Kathy McNeil is an artist I recently discovered (https://www.kathymcneilquilts.com/). Hawaiian quilting takes time, I am impressed! I got the quilting bug early, in 4th grade I was homeschooled and part of the pioneer unit was making a 9 patch by hand and loved it!

Love seeing all your pictures, what wonderful work experiences you’ve had! I look forward to sharing the experience of this class with you. Cheers!

@crain it is so wonderful to read about your time in Australia. The photos are great too. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Australia three times and spend a total of 12 weeks there the first was a five city speaking tour in 2008 followed by a research visit in 2009. If my memory serves, I did focus groups for academic librarians at Deacon because I remember going way out into the suburbs of Melbourne in 2018 I was visiting professor at University of Queensland and spent four weeks in the country meeting librarians and doing more research. Australia is one of my favorite places in the world. Sorry for the long response. 🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing all of your background of what brought you to this class. Also, thank you for your forward eye on our module resources.😀
Welcome to #hyerlib!

Deakin was the last tram stop before you had to convert to buses, so as a uni student it was cheap and effective to get into the city. Loved Melbourne better than Sydney (too many people!). I would go back in a heartbeat if I knew I had the finances and job!

@crain There is a free version and a paid version. You do not need to pay to use for class. We’ll have about 35 feeds in the OPML.
I think it’s a good question to ask Jennifer, as I find working with digital technology tools that “free” can mean a lot of different things, and some tools free accounts can actually be pretty limiting. I’m glad that Feedly can handle what we need for class with a free account though!
