About
Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I retired from a high school media center after 28 years in education--18 as an English teacher; 10, media specialist. I now work as an education consultant with librarians as my main contacts in my school work. I mean, who else can get the job done? One day I will really retire, perhaps, but will never cut the cord from the library.

Greetings Missi,
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

Having a great time with Animoto and GoAnimate. I enjoyed your Animoto posting of Conference. I thought the kids would know all about this but they did not. I'm trying to convince teachers to stay after school for a Web 2.0 workshop. Thanks for your support.
