When we were in China, we were often asked what dish our part of the country known for. This was a stumper. Um, venison? Lutefisk? Then we realized it wasn’t so much a dish as a food group we should be sharing. And we started talking about cheese. I don’t know why we didn’t think [...]
Husband and I were talking about this with friends this weekend. Do you have a a place online that you frequent regularly–but that would surprise everyone to know about? (And no, I’m not talking about THOSE kind of websites. I’m a children’s librarian, for heaven’s sake! Please don’t spoil my innocence.)
My website confession was this one: [...]
Last week when I wrote about The Dunderheads, I forgot to link to some of the other online reviews. One of my favorites is by 100 Scope Notes. Yes, he created a “Toon Review”!
Once I got past my jealousy of not thinking of doing “Toon Reviews” first , I had to check out the [...]
You would think that after 14 years of working in schools I would know that I’m not actually going to get anything done in the library on my teacher work days.
Yes, it’s Labor Day, and I’m heading into work to finish up a few things for my classes tomorrow.

Here are some things that I came across in my web perusing this last week that made me stop and click. Thought they might interest you, too. (No, no, not running out of things to say. Just everyone else says/does it so much better!)

So, in trying to get back to my regularly scheduled blog posts (nothing like traveling across the world to throw you for a loop)…I’m still interested in trying out some of the websites that AASL deemed “the Best,”and seeing how I can put them to use in my writing and librarianing lives. My next up is Wordle.

First up from the AASL Top 25 Websites for Teaching and Learning (remember, I warned you about this?), Animoto.
Do you know Animoto? I confess: I did not. But it’s been a lot of fun to play around with. Basically, Animoto is a web-based tool that allows you to plunk in your photos, add some music [...]
I love lists. So last week when the American Association of School Librarians announced their 25 best sites for teaching and learning, I couldn’t wait to click over to it.
