Web 2.0 Playground
Yesterday I spent a most enjoyable three hours with nine other people at a Leapday Playday to explore the concepts and tools of Web 2.0. We called our computer lab a “playground,” and we were there to “play.”
Why “play?” Because every time I mention Web 2.0 to other… Continue

Greetings Mary,
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

The feeling I get from the Nebraska folks is that they will follow AASL's lead. I didn't get any other sense from them, but that could be because I don't know them well enough yet. Time will tell how well these new standards will be accepted. I would sure like to know if you get any other "vibes" out there.
Good to hear from you!

Sorry to disappoint you, Susan, but I don't get many questions! I have actually learned several things from the TeacherLibrarianNing. It was here that I learned of the K12 Online Conference, and I have learned a ton about Web 2.0 from the sessions there. I've discovered that retired school librarians remain active thinkers, although I haven't yet joined that group. I've picked up some good pointers from videos that have been posted here. This ning is just one of my sources for keeping up with the profession, or at least faking it pretty well. I do still get a little mixed up about just where to leave comments (and where to find them).
What fun new things are you doing with your high schoolers between Thanksgiving and winter break? I'm off to Germany for about ten days...getting together with the increasingly far-away "nuclear family."

I am doing a project for my master's degree. I was just wondering if you would mind answering a quick question for me?
How do you manage technology as a part of your daily job?

I have read Mary Alice Anderson's writing for years, and I must say you are truly fortunate to have her as a colleague. I was extremely pleased to see that the Library of Congress outreach programs that began with the American Memory fellowships have now reached the university level. Good for UW Stout!
