Hello - I haven't posted for over a month - what happened ? Well, there was Christmas, then south coast holidays with my two boys, a new puppy and trying to finish Assignment 1 ! I am finding fitting everything in to be a struggle, I'm afraid I cannot do this course justice, I just don't have the time and energy. Still, I hate to quit so I aim to pass this unit and then reconsider....
On to the juicy subject of Information Literacy - Is it just me or is all this stuff just word salad ? I think I am getting a grip on IL and then it slips away...I am getting bogged down in how to define skills, habits, practice etc. etc. It seems to me that IL is really all about how to study or how to learn, breaking down the process of learning, indeed meta-cognition, to use one of those fancy words.
I am thinking about assignment 2 and how to approach it, and yes, I am getting those affective feelings that have been mentioned by famous IL experts and other students on their blogs and forums. Yes, despair and confusion, and DOUBT too. Can I do it ? Can I ever become a Teacher librarian - It certainly seems harder than I ever imagined, the whole weight of the schools Information Literacy program on the shoulders of the TL. The leadership aspect, that terrifies me, I think I had imagined quietly sitting in the library, not this HUGE RESPONSIBILITY that I see looming now. Is it ever fun to be a TL ?
Sorry, getting a bit negative now, please excuse me, and anyway I must go and see what the puppy is chewing now....
