- My first AV class included opaque projectors and threading 8 mm projectors! ...but enough about my age. I love collaborating with teachers to plan engaging units for student instruction to help them practice 21st century skills. I serve 700+ students and am joining this forum to learn more about how to do that more effectively.

- Cathy, I have looked at Classroom 2.0. Great idea! And I hope to check out the 23 Things classes, though I have done most of them I'm sure I will pick up on stuff I've missed.

- Funny, I also show many the fun slide show feature in Photobucket to get them interested about using such tools. I've only won over one sister. I have a paid account ewith flickr though flickr doesn't have the same fun things as Photobucket. But flickr does have other things I like. Welcome to a lot of fun learning to be had here anyway.

Greetings Betty,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.
If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen

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
