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!
Hi Louise,
I'm a teacher librarian & recently started a community based blog for getting boys to read - http://GettingBoysToRead.com. Please send me a friend request if you'd like to network, share ideas, and learn more about getting boys to read.
And the comments you leave stay at the "wall" of person you left them on.
Can't you see this being more exciting for students than a states report. each student could represent a state, post images, song ,video and comment one another.
Yes, I think she does!
I went to the site when she invited me, but have had no time to do anything else. Hopefully, soon, I will have some time to check it out.
Hi Louise. Thanks for doing this. I came up with an idea for students to create a myspace page instead of doing a presidential report, or a character study on a book. That was a bit hard to control, so Ithought I might try a NING.
