Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
Evidence would indicate that I am a homo sapien, female, 26 years old (in earth years), and by some miracle that is the absurdity of existence get to be one of the participants in life on this beautiful little planet. I can't be too sure of anything beyond that. Currently, I am an MLS student at the School of Information & Library Science at UNC Chapel Hill. I am fascinated by social media and Web 2.0 tools and their applications for education and genuine, engaged learning. I greatly admire school media specialists such as Joyce Valenza and Gwyneth Jones, who have inspired me with the boundless possibilities these technologies offer. I hope that by joining this network, I will learn from educators like them.

Greetings Rachel,
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
