I think that is all for Monday.
I think I should start a collection of posts of moments where I feel my nerdiest or dorkiest.
The other day at work (I'm a school librarian), my friend/co-worker, Dave, showed us how he made a Powerpoint Jeopardy game from a template that one of the former employees created. The other librarians reactions (my self included) was to jump up and down with glee. We got so excited about thinking up questions and possible categories related to the class we teach that I stopped looked at us and at the same moment I said, "we're such nerds," Dave states, "We are such dorks." We started cracking up and continued coming up with Answers/Questions. Some of the categories include : The Big Half-Dozen (the Big 6 is the research process) ; I-Con Do It (referring to computer icons) ; Hey, you're short-cut (referring to computer short-cuts). We even have clicker/buzzers for our students to use when we play the game. It's going to be so fun.
Yet another reason being a school librarian is great. You can spend have the day making up "educational games."
