This is interesting as well
Hi Susan ~ I Twitter and I love my PLN on Twitter! I get teaching ideas daily, and I feel like I miss out on great discussion if I am away from Twitter for more than a few days. My Twitter name is BJacketsfan.
For all teachers of 2nd grade.
Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
And then I'm done.
However, o...
Dear Cassandra,
Thanks for the help. I have visited the Primary Mathematics series website and sent an email to their school contact email address. If I don't hear something soon I will send you an email request for your rep.

Attention library colleagues: be sure to join the "Librarians" group in this ing/ning/thing.
We met at Andover (Phillips Academy) today and discussed a number of topics including strategic planning.
Good luck on the IT/library collaboration - we find it so helpful to have a joint department. Let me know if I can provide any info about how it works for us.
I'm doing okay - I'll definitely be at midwinter and am looking forward to seeing you and everyone else I missed in Reno. :-)
Yes....sort of..... Here's the short version. When I came to the school in 1999, the then IT director and I co-managed Media, the Educational Technology Group (including select library, media and IT folks), and generally plotted, planned, and implemented an information commons (based on some higher ed models we liked.) Fast forward to fall of 2005: NMH, previously a two-campus school, consolidated onto one campus, halving our student body, faculty ranks, etc. Most of the IT department moved into the library building. However IT department, under different leadership and responding to consolidation issues, began a shift from a visionary role to a maintenance one. Recently, we lost our IT director to cancer. The interim director, from the IT ranks, is keeping things going. An IT director search provides the opportunity to reassess and rekindle the IT/Library collaboration regarding academic technology.
(Demetri, I've posted this on your wall as well. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like more information.)
I saw on NAIS that NMH is advertising for a technology director. Is that position integrated with the libraries at NMH? thanks,
Demetri
