Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

I am a Brisbane secondary teacher-librarian who has seen in my lifetime an amazing technological revolution. That's one of the things that keeps me interested in my job, but I feel I am in a developmental lag, with students knowing more than me. I want to learn how to make the best use of it for our students. I love reading & have enjoyed the new challenges in my job.

    Greetings Lynddal,

    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

    Hi Lyndal

    I'm so pleased you found what I said to be relevant. I just love finding all these new things and working out how to use them at school / in the library. I also love the global connectivity and the way all these people are working together to make learning more meaningful and engaging for students.

    As far as Bloglines go, I have used my home email address, so I don't think it affects anything or anyone at school.

    Cheers

    Cathy
