Comment on Teen Read Week 2009 Reflections by Heather Loy

Thanks for stopping by Pat! Yes, I video taped one event, but we took lots of pictures of all of the events. I’m thinking of creating an Animoto video with them. I’ve been displaying them on the digital picture frame I have on the circulation desk and the kids stop and watch.

Yes, it took A LOT of planning, but thankfully it wasn’t all me this year! Amy was a a godsend. I don’t know that I would have tried to be as ambitious if she hadn’t been there. I also had some great teachers who pitched in to help.

This sounded like an awesome week! Did you video any of it? I think that would be great to show others what they missed. I wonder if you could do some geocaching for some clues as an activity if you had another day. This took a lot of planning and work so I applaud you and your team!

Comment on Don’t Hate Me, but I’ve been cheating on by Heather Loy

Yep! So loving my iPhone, but it can’t truly replace my Macbook. Of course I’ll be bringing the Macbook. While I love the iPhone, I just can’t type very fast on that itty bitty keyboard. As I’ve said before, I’m not a texter. In fact, I sent my very first text message this past summer – and that was only to reply to someone.

Looking forward to seeing you and the crew as well as folks from Twitter/PLN face-to-face finally.

Sounds like you are really getting your money’s worth from the iphone! Will you even bring the Mac to AASL?

You are quite welcome, Ms. Johns! I think it is awesome that you are campaigning for ALA president. Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a nice compliment. Good luck to you – you’ll have my vote!

Thanks for adding my campaign card! I really think it is time for a school librarian to lead ALA. I appreciate your support. And I love your blog; it’s exciting and insightful!

Thanks for sharing this with me. We hung ours on a big brick column and put book covers all around it. I will HAVE to snap a photo and blog a more formal public thanks for sharing it. My principal, curriculum coordinator, and 2 English teachers thought it was an awesome (but not in your face) way to highlight the topic and the books.

Comment on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by Fran Bullington

Glad your list of Good outweighs the Bad and Ugly!

Seems that many in my school also suffer from health probs caused by the AC units – most of us get cold/allergy symptoms.

Share pics of those cute twins!
