I put my Persephone book from Nymeth in my Italian leather bag this morning to take to Institute Day in the hopes of reading it. Alas, the experts were too busy conducting sessions about being a learner in the 21st century, which believe me, friends, does not include anything as archaic as books.
It does include MP3 players, iPods, iPhones, laptops, digital cameras, the web, and using such programs as Animoto and Museumbox.com in the classroom. Interesting as those were, let's chat about that later, shall we?
Now I'm racing off to a baby shower for one of my teammates; I should probably have left twenty minutes ago, but what I want to say is this: I can't wait to get back to my book, Little Boy Lost, tonight. There will definitely be a post about it tomorrow, and hopefully by Sunday a post about another Persephone title. Fidelity, perhaps?
We shall see. In the meantime, Happy Persephone Reading Weekend! May the pages fly!
I am going to the California CUE conference in March and it is all about technology in schools! I haven't heard of museumbox.com so will check it out right now.
ReplyDeleteLittle Boy Lost sounds so great, can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. Have fun with Institute Day!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed getting back to Little Boy Lost and that your weekend allows for more reading time.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to think that we are living through the time where we might be using the phrase "the good old days" to describe what reading used to be like, when we were actually holding "real" books in our hands.
ReplyDeleteIt does look smashing there in your bag though, doesn't it? :) Hope you have more luck with the reading part the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAndi, it looks way better than my Nook would! Even though I love my Nook for long distance trips. :)
