This blog is designed to offer helpful hints, tips, and tricks to teachers and library media specialists who are modeling the integration of technology in an authentic and ethical manner in the name of increasing student engagement. The content will be driven by questions I am asked or by my own current educational and technology interests. Subscribe with your favorite reader, and maybe I’ll have added something new each Tuesday. NO PROMISES though. The frequency at which I post will depend of my wow factor as I learn.

I saw you on WOW2.0 tonight. I’m also a media specialist in PA. I teach children & middle school literature online for PA Dept of ED.
I also chair a committee that reviews books for Young Adults. We publish as list of Notable Books for school libraries. This Summer I started a blog to enter books throughout the year. I also hope to put some web2.0 info that pertains to libraries. Our website is http://www.tristatereviews.org.
I linked to you on twitter tonight. I hope you will accept me.
Happy New Year.

Hi Cathy,
First of all cool blog.
I’m a student attending the University of Asia and the Pacific in the Philippines. Our prof. tasked us with making a blog to support a good cause. My group’s cause it to support educational TV. There’s a channel here in the Philippines called the knowledge channel and it provides educational shows to poor children. I wanted to make the blog more interactive for students and teachers to view. Do you have any tips? We also aim to raise awareness about the knowledge channel in hope that more people could help. Would you mind adding us on your technorati to help us get started?
Thanks so much
