The research is ...See MoreHello! I am finishing up my Masters of Management in Library and Information Science at the University of Southern California. Currently I am working on independent research.
If you are a school librarian or library media specialist in Florida, could you please spare 5 minutes to complete a survey for my research?

Good Morning ! I'm going to be taking the Media Specialist exam in Florida for the first time. Does anyone have any suggestions that would help to prepare for the exam?
Hi, I am looking for help passing the Ohio 041 School Media Specialist exam. I have taken it several times and have not passed. I received my MLIS through Kent State. I have used various resources to help in my studies. I would appreciate comments. Thanks.
As a preschool teacher for 30 years, I have observed the trending fascination with handheld devices by young children. I think that we can all agree that this has not always been a positive option, but occurs regularly regardless of that fact. My desire is to provide positive options that promote literacy and enhance vocabulary and math skills through engaging and educational stories and songs.
I have authored and illustrated my first book and used my experiences with what appeals to young children to create this fun learning story that is filled with early addition and subtraction, an abundance of vocabulary, opportunities for higher level thinking while using an adorable puppy and engaging songs to accomplish all of this. I also have produced an audio/visual alphabet song that promotes letter and sound recognition and association.
Please visit my website and give them a try. I truly believe that you will not be disappointed.
I'm getting ready to take the Praxis test for School Library Media. I've heard there are several authors and their works that are featured. What other areas do I need to concentrate on studying? This is my first Praxis test, so I'm a little worried.
https://www.youtube.co...See MoreHello! I have started a new YouTube Channel where I read children's books aloud. So many of the videos online now are poor quality, so I've tried hard to make the videos fun, bright, and engaging. I want to help reach more kids with books and, I hope it can be a good new video resource for many parents and teachers!
