"I Left My Heart in San Francisco!"




What an adventure! The CSLA Conference proved to be invigorating with many opportunities to network and grow professionally. This year celebrated the 100th anniversary of the association. Delaine Eastin, Chair of Assembly Education Chair, and a strong advocate of school library program, shared her story of Miss Firth, a Teacher-Librarian, who instilled in her the wonderment of books and learning.  A commemorative photo of the membership followed with a champagne toast and cake of course! 

As mentioned, in my last post, I had a wonderful opportunity to present:
  •       PostCards From the Edge: Learning and Memories in Small Bites
  •       A Journey into Inquiry: Using Children’s Books to Teach Science Concepts

The focus of the workshops was authentic, experiential learning, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking facilitated by Web 2.0 Tools and Apps.

I am available for workshops. Drop me a note.

Shannon McClintock Miller’s Pre-Conference presentation shared with the audience a “Tool Box of Technology” to help students “collaborate, connect, create.
