Oak Forest Educator Named 2010 Librarian of the Year

Smith Branch of HPL

I visited the Smith Branch of Houston Public Library today. The YA librarian Pedro Fonseca is the absolute best!

Wiki Lesson on Gulf Oil Spill

I am delevoping a wiki lesson on the 2010 gulf oil spill. This lesson introduces use of Ebsco and Britannica databases while focuses on higher order thinking skills. Check it out at pb Works. How Will the Gulf Oil Spill Impact Our Lives? Use the side bar to navigate through the lesson. It is a work in progress.

I am still moving right along with inventory.
