Edi Campbell posted a blog postquestions, questions
I've got a few library questions I've been trying to find answers to, but haven't really found the right space to generate responses. Let's see if this works.First, a basic tech question: can Voki avatars be place on PageFlakes? Yes, I was following tweets from the conference yesterday and I've been busy today!Second, my school is going to be providing all students with a netbook.

Edi Campbell replied to John Crowley's discussion "Disrupting Class""I'm on my way to fully read and absorb Horn's site. I do believe education is changing. I think we're in that painful phase of knowing it needs to change, seeing what needs to be done but trying to convince educators and…"

Edi Campbell replied to Dawn Sayre's discussion ebooks in the library"I use Follett Destiny and purchase eBooks from Follett. They only download to computers, not hand held devices."
Edi Campbell commented on abeaman's group YA Lit in School Libraries"Sandra,
Where do you get the images you use in Animoto? Do you do voice over as well?"
One On One
A couple of days ago, my principal told me that he has requested netbooks for all the students. Won't this mean the media center needs to make some serious changes in the services and tools it provides? I know we'll need to do more ebooks than paper. But, what else? I don't see a need for the computers to congregated in a lab. Perhaps grouped in workstations?
If we have an online learning environment (Angel) that teacher can use to post materials, would an mp3 docking station be useful?
I'm really not sure here!

Greetings Edi,
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

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
