Finally - binoculars I can use! Qunse binoculars

I have always had a hard time using binoculars. I have mono-vision, which means that one eye focuses on distances,while the other focuses on what is close. I recently had the chance to try Qunse Professsional Binoculars, and I was pleasantly surprised!  With the Qunse Professional Binoculars (http://www.qunse.net/products/detail/5983), I can adjust the right eye focus and my vision is crisp, clear and amazingly bright! 


 I like to watch the birds at the feeder in the back yard, and with these binoculars, I can pinpoint a branch, follow a bird, check out its markings -- it is all so easy and smooth! And the binoculars are comfortable, too; I don't need to hold them against my face to steady them, they are light and easy to hold. 
When we attend sporting events, our seats usually don't offer a close view of the players. With these Qunse binoculars, I can follow the action from a distance comfortably.

 Now, I don't know a lot about the science and specifications of binoculars, so, being the librarian that I am, I looked up "How to buy good binoculars". These binoculars offer all that is recommended by every site that I read. They offer features that are usually only found on higher-end models, and they are rugged, waterproof and easy to use! At 10x42, they are the highest magnification that is recommended without a tripod,although they can be attached to a tripod as well. They allow the perfect amount of light to keep colors true, and the rubber lens covers can be kept attached to the binoculars so that they are not lost!! 

 They may be too large to toss into a purse for the opera, but these binoculars are a handy tool for the birdwatcher, hiker or sports enthusiast.

Thing 6 - Curation!

Curation! was the title of Joyce Valenza's keynote address and workshop at the 2012 NYLA/SSL Conference, and she introduced the word to hundreds of librarians in one swoop! I have to admit, I was feeling pretty self-satisfied at the time; after all, I had a fat and happy Delicious file, full of handy sites for all occasions. Why, I even searched for useful links through Delicious, adding and sharing with colleagues. Now I see that I am like the old librarian who collects hundreds of back issues of magazines, certain that they will "come in handy some day!". Curation is so much more of a Web3.0 tool: creating web content more than gathering it. So I gave Scoop.It another try. Diigo had scared me away with its daily updates in my email, and Pinterest is my guilty pleasure/personal-rather-than-educational site. I began following other Scoop-ers, three topics, and added a button to my toolbar. I even connected it to my Twitter feed, so that I can post Scoops there...

Terrific sofa cover - for the right sofa!

We go through sofa covers with alarming speed.  I think we are on the sixth one in two dogs...And Ashton totally shredded one in a month!!   Since Kenzie has claimed the off-white sofa as her own,    I need to keep it protected. But it is hard to keep the cover on - Since she is so “active, I need to use upholstery pins to keep the cover in place! Would you believe that she bent every one of the pins, and they all came loose?  That's why I thought that this sofa cover ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M32JJM2 ) would be the solution to our problems, since it has rolls that tuck in between the cushions and the frame to keep it in place, and a nice strap that wraps around the back of the sofa as well to keep the back covered.  However, I failed to measure and check the dimensions accurately, and the cover is far too small for Kenzie's sofa - which, admittedly, is a large one. We usually need two protective covers to go from ...

Thing 7: Podcasting and Screencasting

I am afraid that I approached this Thing with a little less enthusiasm than I should. You see, I am familiar with, and love ScreenR, ever since it helped me publish ALL of the 3rd graders' Blabberize Biography projects on one, easy to view page . I tried AudioBoo this week, as a test for an upcoming project: listen to ‘Test’ on Audioboo I am excited about the project, but not about AudioBoo. The students will be recording Book Reviews, and we will try to link them to the Online Library Catalog. With AudioBoo, they can only post one picture. Last year we used GarageBand to record reviews with 4th graders, and the result was less than satisfactory. The students spent more time struggling with the technology than they did learning about the book, or enjoying the project. The process strangled the project. We have decided this year to go low-tech, and use PhotoStory for this project. The students can post a few pictures about the book (the teacher wants 5 or mo...
