- Den,
Thanks for inviting me. This summer I finally got two wordpress blogs started -- one for educational technology and one for my Christian writing. However, I really need to get better networked in the ed. tech. environment.
My dream has always been to try to keep the students have had in my UW-Stout classes networked and sharing ideas. I tried a general newsletter several years ago, but I'm certain in ended in a lot of people's spam folder. Homefully this method may work better.

- Hi Dennis:
I have to admit I'm just starting to explore these resources. The state of Iowa recently reinstated teacher librarians back in the code, so AEAs are trying to offer professional development opportunities to help them meet the new requirements of the law. Of course information literacy will be a huge part of this! I'm excited about the possibilities! Thanks.

- Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the invitation to join the group and it is nice to meet you online! I am a huge fan of the Information Fluency website - in fact, I just did a keynote talk at the New England Reading Association today with Don Leu and we mentioned your site and demonstrated the great supports available for online critical evaluation.
I am looking forward to learning from/with all of you as I think we have a lot of common interests!
:-) Julie

- Hi Joan, I'm glad you found me here! Carl and I are launching an information fluency group here in TeacherLibrarianNing. Click groups and you'll see us! Why not join?
Anyone in our class who sets up an account, will get one of our newsletters announcing this. Perhaps that's the way you found us?
I can tell you're having fun in class!
