Greetings Kate,
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 did a Web 2.0 presentation in 2008 for high school faculty. It lasted about 2 hours. When they left they had an iGoogle page, a wiki or a blog and a passing acquaintance with some helpful tools, like Google Docs, Delicious and Flickr. This is the wiki that I created for the presentation. I see that at least one of the videos has moved (apologies) and some of them are blocked now at school, so I can't check them. I hope it will be of some assistance to you. I particularly like the Creative Commons videos. Good luck! http://bpstechspace2.wikispaces.com/
