Hey there! You are welcome! I haven't posted much here, but it has been a great resource for ideas! Hope you have had a great week! :-)

Good to meet you on twitter. I'm a good ol' Colorado boy. Thanks for encouraging me to blog @ http://libpower.blgospot.com. I'm posting stuff about our Grab 'N Gab tonight.

Nice to meet you, too! I hear Colorado is beautiful! I'm a native Georgian...interesting because native Georgians are now the minority in our state's overall population! Our state's population has increased dramatically in the last 10 years. I can't wait to read about Grab N' Gab on your blog later tonight or in the morning! Thank you for sharing! I also loved you post about the Spanish teacher using Voki---I will share this idea with our FL teachers. :-)

Does your district block Ning?

No worries about the questions. I've enjoyed reading your posts and ideas too. Nice work!

My district blocks Nings except on the teachers profiles (so if I log into a student machine I can't get it)
um, I know I took pictures of the AP Bio pill bug girls, and think I wrote in another Ning about it. (I'll look for it)
Bud talked about me presenting live to our district librarians. Sorry, no video.
However- I'm thinking about doing a video post of our Sock Puppet poetry slam Thursday. I'll keep you posted.

Keep asking questions!

Thank you for your kind words! It is such an exciting time to be a librarian...I so love what I do!

We are completely blocked from Ning at work even with our teacher profiles. :-( I hope that will change soon...it wasn't blocked at first, and then suddenly, it was. Arrrgh!

Is Bud in your school district?

I'm sorry I did not get to watch the Sock Puppet Poetry Slam live today b/c we had a class come to the library at the last minute (had to grab that teachable moment!), but I *LOVE* the idea! You are so inspiring!!!!

How many students are in your school? Does Colorado require a certified media specialist in each school? Thankfully, they do here in Georgia, but it makes me nervous to see other states cutting budgets and slashing library staff!

Thank you for inspiring me! :-)

Hi Buffy,
I have been following your blog and I love it.
I am currently working on a new library media center for a boy's high school. I noticed that you use Destiny as your automated catalog. Did you look at Alexandria or TLC? If so how do you think they compare?

Thanks,Erica

Thanks for your reply! I really like the look of TLC but not the price tag. So I am struggling wanting all the bells and whistles. However Desiny looks like my runner up. If you hear of any comparisons let me know.

Thanks Again,
Erica
