Hi - Silly question, but I have never participated in the Skype An Author Network and am not sure how it works. Do I log onto Skype somehow through the Ning site (e.g., video or audio) or do I go directly to Skype or do I do something different?

Even though the topic is Skype, it looks like they will be using Elluminate for the session--they will provide a link, you just need a webcam and (either headphones with a mic or at least a microphone unless it is built in to your computer). It won't take more than 2-5 minutes to show everyone how to participate.

I'm a children's book author (published by Putnam and Simon & Schuster) who has been offering Skype visits for the past two years. I Skype from my home office...and my backyard skateboard ramp!

Mansfield University Scholarship Program – Begin in January 2012
In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.
The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification. For detailed information and contacts please refer to the Fulfilling the Promise homepage, at http://libweb.mansfield.edu/promise/, or contact Cynthia Keller, Department Chair ckeller@mansfield.edu
