Witness and be amazed by the many wonders of the world! In this very blog post, accessed only by those very few within this course, is the information needed to better understand just one of the many people you&#8217;ll meet in your life&#8217;s journey. Here, in this dwelling of words and images, dwells the Cynthia Moving &#8211; the &#8220;Cyndi&#8221;. Featured below is a recent image of Cyndi at the school librarian meeting grounds, serendipitously known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fame-conference.com\/\">FAME Conference 2021.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FAME-AR-Owl_ccexpress-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FAME-AR-Owl_ccexpress-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FAME-AR-Owl_ccexpress-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FAME-AR-Owl_ccexpress-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FAME-AR-Owl_ccexpress.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption> Pictured here is Cyndi in an unnatural setting, labeled here as the &#8220;FAME 2021 Conference&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyndi has been known to enjoy sunsets and sunrises, long walks on the beach, attempting to swim, and jogging. She has recently completed her first 5k. It only took her 45 minutes, so while not the most impressive time, it is still quite a feat! In her down time, she tries to catch up on all of her reading (be it for the job, her students, or herself). She is also a <em>huge<\/em> fan of the Pok\u00e9mon franchise. As of December 2021, she has finally completed the <a href=\"https:\/\/serebii.net\/swordshield\/galarpokedex.shtml\">Galar Pok\u00e9dex,<\/a> one of many childhood dreams come true (even if it isn&#8217;t the original one, it still counts)! An important side note: Cyndi is an avid, casual gamer. Pok\u00e9mon happens to be the franchise that has consumed most of her attention (and possibly her life). She also plays Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter Stories, Skyrim, Tetris, and the Ace Attorney Series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;Okay, enough posturing! Down to the facts! Cyndi holds an undergrad in English Literature from UCF. She has worked as an English teacher since 2014 until she stumbled hard enough to say, &#8220;I need a change!&#8221; Her current occupation is as a school media specialist at Osceola Science Charter School. It is her first exposure to the World of School Librarians and Media Specialists, and she sincerely wonders why she didn&#8217;t make the switch sooner. Ah, such is life. Cyndi lives in Orlando, FL with her partner in crime and their two-year-old calico cat, Curry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/curry-bun-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/curry-bun-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/curry-bun-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/curry-bun.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption> She also responds to &#8220;Curry Bun&#8221;, &#8220;Curry Bun-Bun&#8221;, and &#8220;CURRY NO&#8221;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be hoped for all intrepid readers to pass course LIS 5313 with flying colors. After all, digital media is an important and ever-growing aspect within schools. For a budding Media Specialist, it is all the more important for Cyndi to get a better grasp of <em>what<\/em> digital media is and <em>how<\/em> the lessons learned here could be applied towards her career. This class is also the last one needed for Cyndi to receive the all-important School Library Leadership certification. From there it might be just one more semester, upgrading from a Temporary to a Professional Educator&#8217;s Certificate, and graduation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In between (and specifically on <a href=\"https:\/\/legends.pokemon.com\/en-us\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/legends.pokemon.com\/en-us\/\">January 28th<\/a>) there will be Pok\u00e9mon.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come one, come all!
