The best part of being a teacher and a librarian is that our education is in a constant state of motion and moving forward. We are constantly learning and adapting- we have to. Our students and patrons need us to be there with the answers to anything and everything. I mention this for two reasons: one I thought the quote was fascinating and inspiring and two: I learned something new today. While taking library science classes, we often have to try out new software programs and learn how to use them in the library setting. Today in class, our focus was black and white photos with a splash of color. It sounds easy enough and if you have Photoshop it really is but for those of us out there who don't have this great program we must turn to the Internet for assistance. Stepping outside my comfort zone to learn a new program and a new skill was a little mind melting but the experience of learning something new is what keeps us on our feet. It what keeps us prepared for the future and what it brings.
So about four hours later I finally figured out how to really get RAA!!ool to stand out. :)
Today we went over to the new Olympic Park. This is where the 2012 Summer Olympic games will be held. None of us really knew what to expect from the tour since it's such a "new" area but I think we were all raptured by the amazing Sean once more. His ability to draw in his audience and truly capture the history and essence of his tours and their sites is amazing. The amount of detail that goes into a project like this just blew me away. London should be proud of their foresight and planning. They will do something amazing for these games.
