Darling Slideshare, We're Stacking the Decks!

@Slideshare, my favourite presentation & file sharing site, is celebrating 10 Million Presentations Uploaded to SlideShare by creating the infographic  below -- and astoundingly, the featured me! (I know, crazy right!?) So...of course I have to share it with you! (and my Mom! LOL)  Also featured on the infographic is the presentation that changed my graphical & preso life and is one of the most viral slidedecks on earth... You Suck at Powerpoint! by the amazing, inspiring, & social media guru JesseDee!  (View the Large Size)


Funny thing is, they were kind enough and I was honored, flattered, and chuffed that they featured me
but they got my brand name wrong.  They labeled me the "Darling Librarian" instead of the "Daring Librarian" I mean, I *can* be darling if given the chance & with my friends and loved ones!
Here's my comment from their blog:

"OhMyWordSlideshare! I am so honored you included me on this infographic! Whether I’m a Darling or Daring Librarian -  I’m dead flattered to be featured! But of course, it does make me worry I haven’t worked hard enough on my branding if ya'll  got it wrong! LOL
Srsly, terribly chuffed is me! SQUEE!"
I finally uploaded the preso I blogged about and updated from the amazing experience I had being a featured speaker at MACUL in Detroit! Two different versions:

The above deck is the presentation with all the YouTube videos embedded (thanks Slideshare!) for those of you who are viewing without a firewall and have really fast bandwidth.  But for my dear friends who are still fighting the Locked Net Monster, I also uploaded a version without any videos embedded for viewing for easier viewing behind the walls of fire.


Create your own Playlist on MentorMob!

I have to also include the MentorMob Playlist that goes with this preso! Basically, I learned how to make a playlist by creating this one! That's the way I learn - learn by doing. How do you learn best?

And about the Daring Darling thing -- Really it's much better than my super pet peeve of spelling my real name wrong like [shudders] gwenyth, gwendolyn, or some other non-awesome version that's not mine, right!?

Do You Know About Secret Bitmoji's?

Did you know about Secret Bitmoji's? Well, I just stumbled over them this summer and WOW! Cool! Are these new features or something we just missed? Since Bitmoji never talks to me -- and I've Tweeted and Instagrammed them over and over for years and nothing......I guess this is a new feature? The ability to make a Bitmoji with just about any word.  I found this in the weirdest way, I was searching for a picture of an orchid -- because my Dad got my Mom & I orchid plants and I was asking how hers was faring. I found ALL these cartoons with the word Orchid -- but no pictures. Like why????  What was funny, it wasn't a cartoon of an orchid, it was just the word. I tried it again and got a different set of cartoons.    Then I realized, wait..... it's just the word. I know, I'm slow sometimes - don't judge me.  So of course I tried my name See that little pencil on the top? That means it's going to write out what you put in!    There are also other handy Bitmo

Twitter Style Book Review Lesson

Image
Sweet Tweets About Good Reads Here's an idea for a fun tech-social-media infused creative writing lesson and one I'll be sure to mention when I'm guest hosting the Twitter #EngChat event May 23rd at 7pm EST . The topic will be The Power of the Product and I'll be hosting with amazing MHMS co-worker Elizabeth Singleton ( @emsingleton ). This conversation will consist of viable, creative, meaningful, and daring products that demonstrate information mastery, go beyond the regular research report and span the digital divide. On this second blog posting in one day (assuredly a first!) I must give a very special thank you to reading specialist & MHMS co-worker Deb Burkey! You inspired & gave me this idea during our conversation the other day talking about the Fakebook lesson. YAY, you rock! The text is written as directions to students. Writing a short, concise, quality book review is a challenge! Using the Twitter style, create a short book review that hint

Don't Label Me: LGBTQIA+ Ally

Image
Our Middle School Library in Laurel, Maryland has been a loud and proud Safe Space and Ally for ALL of our  LGBTQIA and Neurodivergent students for years. We have purchased every well reviewed, requested, intriguing, and middle school approved fiction and non-fiction book on these topics. I daresay we have one of the largest collections around! We have Safe Space signs around, a rainbow narwhal (pictured above) and groupings of books on display all the time. I have also blogged about our support of our diverse communities. Dear Queer Teen - It Gets Better! - 2012  Create a Safe Space - 2018 BUT... I have strong opinions about putting a Genre label on these books. I am really cognizant that some of my Middle Schoolers are curious or questioning to learn more about but aren't ready to out themselves. To their peers and to their parents. This is yet another reason I'm against Genrefication. I know, among some of my other Future Ready Librarians this is a controversial topic.
