I did this last year, and I’m going to try it again this year. As winners are announced, I’m going to post them here, and then push this post live ASAP. To prepare, I pasted all the nominees. Then as they are announced, all I have to do is mark them (winner, runner-up, etc.) and [...]

Well my Carolina Gamecocks lost yesterday in their bid to be the 2010 SEC Champions, but during my ride home from Atlanta, Diane Cordell emailed me to let me know that I was nominated again for the annual Edublog Awards. This is my fourth year in a row being nominated. I am surprised and delighted [...]
Posted in 21st century, Education, Videos on Dec 29th, 2009
Okay I saw it first here on Dangersously Irrelevant: “Video – What does it mean to be literate in the 21st century? Here’s a new video from Heidi Clark and Anita Bramhoff, two Canadian teachers who made the film as part of some work at the University of British Columbia. Happy viewing!” Then I saw [...]
Posted in 2.0, 21st century, Education, Professional Development, Web 2.0 on Oct 18th, 2009
Recently there has been a RASH of educators nay-saying the power of connected learning through 2.0 tools. (And actually suddenly it seems uncool to say 2.0 anything or even 21st Century anything else.) So I ran across this today over at Lee Kolbert’s blog (A GeekyMomma’s Blog) and thought wow, the slideshare inserted in the [...]

This week will prove quite challenging for me. Wednesday through Friday we have our annual South Carolina Association of School Librarians Conference in Greenville, SC.

I read this today in Mary Woodard’s Blog The Top Shelf–essentially Dallas Public Library has created a branch in a local mall. Fantastic idea!! All I could think is how this could be modified for the school library. I know my circ stats are not what I want them to be, despite investing a large [...]

Not comfy with Second Life? Me either, but I will be there as Bentley Noel, trying desperately to appear normal and [...]
Posted in 21st century, Beach, Conferences, Education, Learning, Library, Professional Development, Social Networks, South Carolina on Jun 19th, 2008
Today I did a session at our annual principal’s conference on social networking. Since the vast majority of tools like MySpace, Facebook, and even professional networks like Classroom 2.0 are blocked, I took the stance that we as educators must educate ourselves and our parents, especially in light of how issues stemming directly from student [...]
It is funny how summer really brings out the reflective me. My husband and I were having breakfast this morning, talking about qualifications for certain jobs in the education field. The conversation steered towards what makes me qualified for a library job. Now he has a different perspective as a school administrator who is significantly [...]
