First off, let me introduce myself.  My name is Tyllie Corbin, and I am getiing ready to start my 15th (wow, where has the time gone?) year of teaching.  I started off teaching ESL in Killeen, TX and then moved to Bowling Green, KY when my husband got a job at Western Kentucky University.  We lived in BG for two years and moved back to the Cedar Valley when he got a job with the Waterloo Bucks.  I was fortunate enough to get a job at Oelwein teaching Secondary Spanish and worked there for six years until I took a Spanish job at Denver.  Last year, I was asked if I would be interested in transitioning to the Library.  After some thought, I decided the Library would be a good fit for me.  I'm excited to help grow the students' love for reading, work with the ever changing world of technology, and collaborate with my colleagues.

Over the summer, I have done a lot of exploration about libraries, reading, and technology.  I am including a link to my Symbaloo K-2 read-aloud page, so students can listen to books on whatever device they have at their disposal.
