Back to High School!!

I visited the Pike County High School Media Center and fell in love!!  The center was awesome, and so were the students.  I have already visited the Elementary school and the Middle School, and I was a little hesitant about going to  the High School.  I have always worked with younger students- not students that have cars!  However, they were awesome!  I think I could be a high school teacher.  The Media Center was filled with computers, and most students used them instead of books.  I am the same way!  The Internet seemed to be all the student's best friend.  The Media Specialist was great she was very organized and the day went very smooth.  She used Destiny to catalog her books the same as we do here at the Primary School- so that was familiar to me.  The computers there were more up to date than ours, but they seem to get used more than ours. 
                         My practicum projects are going great.  I am working on my Media Specialist Role pages.  I am trying to make sure all my tasks are completed and added to my portfolio.  I never realized an electronic portfolio could be so much work.  Although, its a lot of work- its great to look back at all of my past projects.  It's very rewarding!!
