It's hard to believe that I'm almost done with my graduate work and I will soon begin a new chapter in life. I have enjoyed the journey, but not the grey hairs that go along with it!
I've been settled in Fairmont for a whole year now and finally feel like I have a "home." When I make it to my little abode in Belleview it feels like a good place to be. I miss seeing my 2 grandsons on a regular basis and spending time with my daughter, but I'm hopeful that once I finish my studies I will have more time with them.
I'm still working at the Folklife Center on campus and find that as much as I love this place and what we do here, that I'm looking forward to the next chapter in life. I encourage everyone to stop by sometime and see who we are - there are some wonderful resources here!

This video is completely about information literacy as it shows multiple examples of the sources where students can access information. Not only does it show resources, but it also shows the complex language that is behind the scenes.
INFORMATION LITERACY
There are a variety of definitions for information literacy and many have similarities. I like the simplicity of ths definition. This site has additional information.
Information Literacy - 1. Information literacy is the ability to recognize the extent and nature of an information need, then to locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed information. (Plattsburgh State Information and Computer Literacy Task Force, 2001)

Congrats on finishing your graduate work, that is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteAlmost Done! Yey! I'm happy for you, but I'm going to miss getting to read your perspective each week. Good luck in this class, and in the next chapter of your life!
ReplyDeleteIm jealous that you are almost finished! I have a niece and I know that my parents adore her! Im sure you adore your boys!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am almost finished too, but still seems so far away. When I settled in Fairmont, I felt home too,I love WV. Okay so I have a question....how did you get everyone's blog address on your blog. I love that, having everything in one place. But I'm afraid of screwing up what I already have.
ReplyDeleteSo when do you finish your graduate degree? This summer? I will finish in the fall. It's a great feeling, huh? However, I'm going back into another graduate program in August at WVU. So I still have my hands full with school. But, I love to learn so it's not a big deal. Congrats on your up-and-coming graduation!
ReplyDeleteNice to see a familiar face! I am finishing soon, as well, and it feels good!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to feel accomplished and see the light at the end of the tunnel. We know our hard work will not go wasted with educating others.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on almost being there! I have 3 more classes and hope to finish this fall. So, yay us!
