Welcome to my blog for all library, teaching, and technology-related things.
My name is Inma Galan, I am a high school teacher-librarian at Downers Grove South High School in Downers Grove. This is my 5th year with the district. Prior to working at the high school, I worked at a public library facilitating storytime programs for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. This is my 6th class on the Instructional Technology Endorsement program. I have completed my ESL/Bilingual endorsements at St. Francis and really enjoyed the experience.
Normally, I would be working with a variety of classes with daily changes from doing book talks to teaching citation tools. However, under the current circumstances we, the librarian's team, are doing the best we can to support teachers and students. We are a 1:1 school and were used to using technology daily. Now we are taking it up to the next level.
I am a mom to two boys (17 & 13) and a crazy dog. I love to travel and immerse myself in new cultures. I am originally from Spain. This past summer we had planned to travel to Spain & Portugal, we're still hoping we'll get to do that next summer. In the meantime, I have been running and reading a lot.
