½ cup margarine, softened
2 eggs

Filling:
1-12 oz. pkg. Chocolate chips
1 can fat free or low fat sweetened condensed milk
2 T. margarine
½ t. vanilla

Preheat oven 350.
Combine cake mix, peanut butter, ½ cup softened margarine and eggs. Stir by hand until dough holds together. Press ½ of dough into bottom of ungreased 9x13 inch pan.

Filling:
Mix chocolate chips, condensed milk, 2 t. margarine in the top of a double boiler and melt over hot water. Stir in vanilla and spread over dough. Crumble reserved dough over filling and bake 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely and cut into bars.

Starting again with PUSD

Okay teacher librarians, here we go all together. Let's hope you can see that I am online with all of you.

Last THING

I am done. I look back with satisfaction that I made the time (and it was many hours of it) to acquaint and reacquaint myself with some new technological tools. I have shared many with my families, friends, students, and coworkers. I hope to continue to use and experiment with many now and in the days ahead. I encourage CSLA to continue to help all of us in continuing professional development. I would be more than willing to offer up additional membership fees for this type of continuing education. Thank you CSLA and all those mentors out there suffering through another blog entry.

Thing 23: Copyright, Creative Commons

First off, I found the YouTube video “A Fair(y) Use Tale” EXTREMELY difficult to watch and make any sense of. I finally just listened but even that was frustrating. I think if I really wanted to appreciate it I would need a written transcript. The websites that I looked at for copyright were thorough and beyond me. I am pleased with creative commons and will make sure to pay attention to the symbol whenever I see it . Copyright has always been a problem for me and all I can promise is to try my best to be aware of possible infringements. Now I am on to the completing survey.

Thing 22: Audiobooks and Ebooks

Both of these resources have been available to us for many years now. I would like to have more access to downloadable audio books at the high schools but cannot afford the yearly subscription rates. I am constantly referring students to the public library. When looking at these audiobook sites on this tutorial, I thought I might have our parent volunteers ad links to our catalog records to book records that have free access audiobook urls. I think as long as I put it in the local notes field it should not provide to much controversy within our union catalog.

Thing 21: Podcasts

One of our seniors is doing an internship the radio program "Way With Words"
I have to admit to not owning an ipod, though it is on my wish list. So to overcome this terrible impediment I subscribe to a few podcasts just so I can keep in touch with my ipod toting friends. I listen when I am responding to emails. I know it is not ideal but there is only so much time in one's day. I always listen to the latest Way With Words, first and then move on to some of my less academic selections.

Thing 20: YouTube

I have been fortunate to have had access to YouTube for a few years. Mostly my students and children have shared their videos with me through YouTube. This year for Christmas my son gave me a Flip video camera so that I can create my own. I think I will start by loaning it to my library assistants to create videos on how to use the library and it resources.

I spend time browsing videos having to do with information literacy. Some of the best work I have found is being done by Cultural Anthropologists. One I particularly like was created by Professor Mike Wesch out of Kansas State University.
The Machine is Us/ing Us.
