Michelle - thanks for sharing your work on this. I love the idea of asking the students what they think because they are the ones being effected by the decisions. As adults, many times we think we are making good choices for them and then we wonder…
I posted a survey about the NYT online debate on my website last week. We have 58 responses so far, and some are not too complementary about my staff members, so I have mixed feelings about the results. Here is the link to the site and here is the l…
What should our library collections look like? Does the format of the
resources matter? The look and feel of library collections has been a
hot topic in the news of late. Check out these two articles and let's
hear your opinions. Does a school libra…
Our small school district cannot afford both print and eBooks, however, I have invited the youth librarians in from our county library system to show students how to download books from their collection. I also keep a link to the county libraries on…
My experiences with eBooks matches the predictions made in the Horizon Report. I am seeing that they more titles are available now, they are more readable, and are available on a variety of hardware items. I've been looking at eBooks for over a deca…
Join in an thoughtful discussion on the 2010 Horizon Report (http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2010/) put out by the New Media Consortium and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. Bob Sprank writes in the 1-28-10 eNews edition of Tech & Learning Tech Blog (http://ww…
I loved "14 Ways K-12 Librarians Can Teach Social Media" by Joyce Valenza.

Although it's just a silly little simple tool, I've been using Doodle to have groups of teachers sign up for attending meetings and staff development sessi…
I've found the Google docs tools to be extremely effective in helping us to manage our work and collect data. We especially like the form tool. Here are some ways that we use it in our Chicago Public Schools Dept of Libraries office:
1. To collect…
Charlie - have you considered looking at any open source library management software? I do not have personal experience with either Koha or Evergreen but you might want to take a look at them.
@Marji,
You are SO not behind the times! I have heard the Google Wheel presented at several conferences and since it is not part of my repertoire, I just don't think about it! It is so COOL!
I like #3 as well, but until we can get our classroom te…
@ Laurie, Thanks for that supplement to Joyce's blog! I think Joyce is amazing and I have a hard time keeping up with the people that keep up with Joyce! He is so right, if you surround yourself yourself with folks who are good at already navigating…
You may enjoy reading Jason Ohler's blog post on this article. My favorite line is the very first one (which I agree with totally!): "Every now and again I read a hands-on, minds-on article that is so insightful, helpful and articulate that I breath…

specialization in Physics. As part of my education degree I have had two
required technology courses. The focus…
