TTW Mailbox: Did You Know?

Dr. Margaret Lincoln writes: REMC 12 Director Mike Oswalt shared an excellent PowerPoint on School 2.0 at http://techplan.edzone.net/TDM2006/DIDYOUKNOW.ppt that was recently shown at the Michigan Technology Directors Meeting on October 6. The original presentation at http://arapahoe.littletonpublicschools.net/media/EDocs/did_you_know.ppt was developed by Karl Fisch (a tech director from Colorado) and is quite powerful with the addition of background music. Both PowerPoint versions play automatically and take only 8 minutes * time well spent! Take a look! It’s fascinating.

Phil Bradley’s Library Weblog Feeds

Phil Bradley’s Library Weblog Feeds Originally uploaded by mstephens7. http://philbradley.typepad.com/phil_bradleys_weblog/2006/10/library_weblog_.html Phil writes: This is by way of an experiment really. I have created a publically available page at Pageflakes listing 30 or so Library/Librarian weblogs. All you need to do is vist the page, click on the little half diamond on the right of each title and see the recent postings, click and read. You don’t have to be a Pageflakes user either. This is a page that I’m going to keep, because it’s useful for me, so it will change over time – and this is an invitation that […]

The SLJ Leadership Summit: Learning in the 21st Century: The Role of the Library Media Program

I am knocked out to be participating in a panel discussion focusing on School Library 2.0 at the 2006 School Library Journal Leadership Summit in Chicago this November. The roster is filled with names of folks I’ve read, learned from and had the honor to work with. This event will surely be blogged and reported from many angles, so if you aren’t attending (invitations went out a few weeks ago), watch the blogs and news sites!

Michael Porter on Flickr

Via Jenny: http://www.llrx.com/columns/tao8.htm Connie Crosby interviews Michael porter about Flickr: So, the Libraries and Librarians Group is the biggest, most active and successful library related group on Flickr. From its inception, it has been a real joy to work with the folks who have decided to make it a “living” online community. I have learned so much from the images I’ve seen there and the people I’ve met in this group. My fellow group administrators and I have been able to set up collaborative group tagging projects and a group mash-up project too. I’ve even have had the opportunity to […]
