Sherrie Stark replied to Roselle's discussion Keeping teachers and others aware of new holdings in the group Instructional Technology"Just got on this site-busy year. I'm really into using QR Codes. How many having a student(s) make a video of a few of the new books and post the QR Code around the school and the teachers' lounge/lunchroom. I'm going to have students…"

Teresa Plumer replied to Roselle's discussion Keeping teachers and others aware of new holdings in the group Instructional Technology"I realize you posted this a while ago, but since I just joined the site I thought I would share some things that I have done.

Roselle replied to Roselle's discussion Circulating Children's magazines in the group Elementary School Librarians"That makes sense but how do you count statistics with this method? If i need to know which journals circulated and if any particular issue was more popular ...etc or if any particular Journal title was more popular than others....

Roselle replied to Roselle's discussion Circulating Children's magazines in the group Elementary School Librarians"Thank you for noticing and replying! I know we're busy and I know others have already done cataloging of journals but I'm hesitant to start a big production like that with one cataloger chugging away at our backlog! I finally decided to go…"
Renee Rogers replied to Roselle's discussion Circulating Children's magazines in the group Elementary School Librarians"I'm thinking of starting this in my elementary library.

Greetings Roselle,
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
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification.
