ref module III -- teaching/instruction

just came from the first teaching/instruction segment of the reference module, taught by marybeth mccartin (the instructional services librarian). we talked about our experiences as undergrads and the kinds of library instruction we received in grade school/jr hs/hs. seems i was the only one who started early with grade school. lol. i remember still very clearly writing down quotes for my magellan paper on these 3x5 index cards, complete with citations and all.

then we spent the rest of the time going over the concepts we read for hw. how do you incorporate all these different learning styles and needs of students? we even touched upon ethics when we talked about obtaining and using information "illegally."

so for hw, we have to pair up and talk about library skills we would cover in an instructional class for undergrads. jared and i are going to work over email. (every time we do group things, i seem to pair with jared... hmm.. lol coincidence?) also, at some point, i have to sit in two instructional classes and do a write up on those. it's not due till march because there aren't many classes left for this semester.

and today's horoscope says.....

Aquarius Horoscope for November 11, 2009

Your eye for detail will help you notice things no one else pays attention to today -- hold on to these little revelations until a time when they will be more useful to you. Your mouth, however, is another story. Don't be surprised if you accidently divulge classified info today. Whoops -- it was just a slip! The best move after a boo boo like this is to smile and offer a heartfelt apology. You have the tact and charm necessary to get anyone on your good side.
