Hi, Mary

I have just joined this network and am looking to connect with people who know about or have an interest in children's picture books. I am especially interested in finding out more about what teacher/librarians have to say about the availability of picture books that can be used by teachers to support values education.

If you want to know more about me, or be my friend :), please pop over to my page.

Mary --Did you see the posting about this collaborative writing project using Twitter? http://manyvoices.wikispaces.com/ I was having a hard time thinking about the value of Twitter - but this helps! :-)

Yes we have received the information about the Library Days. We have had attendance each year and hope to this year as well. It is a great deal!

I missed AASL also, but the Nebraska conference went very well.

The feeling I get from the Nebraska folks is that they will follow AASL's lead. I didn't get any other sense from them, but that could be because I don't know them well enough yet. Time will tell how well these new standards will be accepted. I would sure like to know if you get any other "vibes" out there.

Good to hear from you!

Hi, Susan,

Sorry to disappoint you, Susan, but I don't get many questions! I have actually learned several things from the TeacherLibrarianNing. It was here that I learned of the K12 Online Conference, and I have learned a ton about Web 2.0 from the sessions there. I've discovered that retired school librarians remain active thinkers, although I haven't yet joined that group. I've picked up some good pointers from videos that have been posted here. This ning is just one of my sources for keeping up with the profession, or at least faking it pretty well. I do still get a little mixed up about just where to leave comments (and where to find them).

What fun new things are you doing with your high schoolers between Thanksgiving and winter break? I'm off to Germany for about ten days...getting together with the increasingly far-away "nuclear family."

Hey Sweetie! I just don't get this whole thing yet - AND you don't get to look at it before you are supposed to "explain" yourself. :) Have you actually LEARNED anything??? I bet you only get questions. What a guru you are. :) Ok, I'm sure these are inappropriate comments, but you ARE the best.

Hey,
I am doing a project for my master's degree. I was just wondering if you would mind answering a quick question for me?

How do you manage technology as a part of your daily job?

Web 2.0 Playground

I posted this on my “Primary Source Librarian” blog today, and I thought others might want to consider setting up their own Web 2.0 Playground:

Yesterday I spent a most enjoyable three hours with nine other people at a Leapday Playday to explore the concepts and tools of Web 2.0. We called our computer lab a “playground,” and we were there to “play.”

Why “play?” Because every time I mention Web 2.0 to other educators, they react… Continue
