It’s just a great place to be reflective, entertain, to wonder, rant, express joy–to all around show your passion to the world. You’ve asked for some constructive criticism so I’ll do my best. [...]

I am excited to blog today about the new South Carolina Association of School Librarians website. I am on the Information Technology Committee, and some of our focus has been on getting our website renovated. We hired a SCASL Webmaster, Mike Heath, and I kid you not when I say this is significantly more (and [...]

Lol cruising through my reader and then tweets this morning I ran across this–actually in both places. What a pleasant surprise to see my school represented! It comes from one of Joyce Valenza’s recent Pennsylvania School Library Association presentations–this one titled Reading 2.0. Cool. Often I forget about some of these tools. We just can’t [...]

I shared this in a presentation last week, just days after it was released. It’s a free download.

So I was asked to put together a VoiceThread on wikis. I’m not sure I’m real satisfied with the end product, and I can tell it’s been a while since I messed around with Voice Thread. Also, I don’t like VT’s (like this) that really don’t seem to encourage written or voice comments, which is [...]

As the time frame for getting funding to attend Educon 2.1 gets smaller and smaller, it appears I will only be able to attend virtually. I went last year, and co-presented too. This was the first conference I have attended in many years where I was more involved in conversations than looking at others presentations, [...]

Here is a picture from the SCASL Webinar featuring a discussion about the popular book Twilight if you missed it. Yes the time featured there is accurate too. Our webinar from 4-5PM today was attended by roughly 22 people, and was what I think a FIRST for SCASL. It was a fantastic cross section of [...]

When I was on the Edublogs platform, and because I did not pay for the service but instead used the free platform (which I still say is GREAT), I needed to use FeedBurner to track blog statistics.
