Dear Diary, Today I taught one of my two Smart Board classes. It was really fun. I had to keep the energy level up since it was after lunch so I added Music to some tasks and got a lot of willing volunteers. It was a lot of fun and the participants seemed very impressed by the capabilities of the Smart Board. Some did not know you could use Microsoft Office applications with it. And those who have used Power Point with it before still learned a lot.
They were all very impressed by the Recorder and Video Player. Another crowd pleaser was my beloved Spotlight and Creative Pen options. Yippee.
Simultaneously I am working with the team on the script and storyboard. We have finalized the script so now mainly focused on the "Non-copyrighted, roylaty-free" sounds and effects and props and locations. I will be starring in the commercial, ugh...umm...OKAY??? And I will be filmed atop a flatbed dolly being wheeled down the hall....It promises to be quite insane.
I declare, when I was in Library School, I had absolutely no idea I'd ever be doing any of this stuff. This is the Best-EST and Fun-EST (new word) Residency in the world!
Someone asked if I enjoy having so much holiday time off. I said "Most definitely!" Especially because my former boss was convinced that it was vital to human existence that we stay open regular hours on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve.
Oh yes, and the bonuses at Notre Dame didn't hurt either!!
I swear I am having way too much fun to be getting paid for this stuff! Shhh! That is our little secret.
