Profile Information

Hometown:: Exton, PA

Name of Your School / Library / Organization:: I am a professional librarian, an online educator for Children/Young Adult Literature, a professional artist, a native Pennsylvanian, a Macintosh techie and user group president. I am also a professional artist who loves making unique artistic books. Most importantly I am a digital immigrant who loves this new digital world and can’t stop learning and relearning. The reason for my starting some blogs (in addition to the Book Pushin Cats from TriState Reviews blog) is to show my students (teachers) the wide variety of valuable tools available to them on the web today. I hope they come to realize that their classrooms do not have to be isolated when they can tap the world’s resources so easily.
I'm looking for information and how todos on the new Web2.0 tools. I'm also looking to share a lot of the information that I have accumulated over the years.
Here are my different websites:
My art website: www.brushcolor.com
Books of Note for Middle and Young Adult Literature: http://www.tristatereviews.org/
TriState blog: http://tristatereviews.blogspot.com
My web2.0 blog BookPushinTechie: http://BookPushinTechie.blogspot.com
I'm also working on some wikis for teaching children's and young adult literature.

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
