Hi everyone.
My name is Holly Chidsey-Gardner.
I am the Teacher-Librarian at Wilsonville High School in Wilsonville, Oregon. This is my second year as the Teacher-Librarian, previously I taught Biology, Forensic Science, AP Biology and various other science electives for 23 years. Our school district is just beginning to explore the use of online learning software through traditional and hybrid courses for both our student and adult learning communities. It will be my responsibility to not only train teachers in the use of the programs as far as nuts and bolts, but also to help them to develop coursework that is engaging, meaningful and rigorous. It is the curriculum development piece that I look forward to the most. When I’m not trying to keep up with blackboard, blogs, facebook, twitters, ipods, kindles...etc. I love to spend time with my family - two boys and my husband (who is also a teacher). He is taking the picture.

Out of the classroom after 23 years, wow. It sounds like you had had your fingers deep into the world of istuff. With so many in the course we will all be learning from each other I'm sure.

It doesn't really seem like I've been at this so long until I actually say it or write it. I am really excited to be in this learning group, there will be so many more people to bounce ideas off of and learn from.
