I was asked recently to be a part of a ISTE-SIGMS sponsored webinar centered on helping librarians make that decision to get in the fray. Is this an easy process? What are the challenges?

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 [...]

Reading up on SC School woes–some articles I read over the weekend, with one jarring quote pulled from each: School funding cuts are bleeding away S.C.’s future BY RON BRINSON Saturday, April 17, 2010 Every dollar cut by the state must be supplanted at the local district level or something has to give, another trick [...]

Confession: Some of this is shamelessly copied from Gwyneth Jones’ Blog, now known as the Daring Librarian! I can’t speak enough about the power of the TL Virtual Cafe meetings. (I blogged about the February one here.) I was extremely pleased last month to see no less then six South Carolina school librarians in the [...]

Scott Mcleod popped this in my twitter feed this morning, and all I could think was how can I share this at school?? I would love to burn it to a DVD and put in our player to loop all day on my big plasma in the library. It’s one of those that you hope [...]

Coming Monday, March 1st we have another school librarian focused (and led) webinar. A free opportunity–can’t say that for webinars released by ALA or ISTE, most of which come with a small fee, but a fee none the less. The last one featured special guest Mike Eisenberg (of Big6 fame and leadership in the field) [...]

This was sent to the members of LM_Net (of which I am not a member) and to members of the WWWEDU Yahoo group (of which I AM a member–who mostly just lurks!) The WWWEDU group is basically a list serv, but Nancy Willard is a member who posts excellent content regularly, and so I ALWAYS [...]

Recent developments, the Teacher Librarian Cafe Elluminate last night, and yes, the AASL name change have my emotions so stirred I cannot think straight. Even at supper tonight my husband and I debated on who was being harder hit, the media specialists with the discovery that our President and congress see little value in our [...]
