Hometown:: Fort Mill, SC

Name of Your School / Library / Organization:: My first AV class included opaque projectors and threading 8 mm projectors! ...but enough about my age. I love collaborating with teachers to plan engaging units for student instruction to help them practice 21st century skills. I serve 700+ students and am joining this forum to learn more about how to do that more effectively.

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

I have a paid account ewith flickr though flickr doesn't have the same fun things as Photobucket. But flickr does have other things I like. Welcome to a lot of fun learning to be had here anyway.
