===Welcome to my sandbox. You are welcome to use any of my toys. Try them out. My sandbox is not perfect, but it is a place I can learn how to create new things, delete them and try again until I like how it looks and feel comfortable using. Of course, I can always improve it. Hopefully today, others will help me make this page look better and add some new things here I want to keep. ===

**I bet you can't guess how much money you save by using the library materials and resources instead of buying or paying for them. Click on the calculator picture and find out. Maine State Library has provided the average values of goods and services a library provides. Input your data and see how closely you guessed. **


===I love my iGoogle page! It keeps me organized. My home page holds my networking choices: Blogs I want to read; Bookmarks I want to share and use on any computer I access; my short Twitter notes to friends I follow for research and links; my Google Calender, etc. My Library tab and Technology tab has all things relating to those subjects too. Check it out by clicking on the iGoogle icon above. ===


===Have you listened to any of the great podcasts on the SD website? I found two about playing regarding the library and technology and linked them here just for you. Put on your headphones, click on the SD Institute icon and listen to these podcasts. ===

===Do you use a rubric for assessment? We do. This one was to score the grant applicants for our first [|Morgridge Grant]. It was created as a Google spreadsheet, published as a url which I linked to this Rubric icon. ===
