Virginia L. Hearon replied to Tom's discussion 4th grade Native American Fiction in the group Librarians
"Moon of Two Dark Horses by Sally M. Keehn is a great alternative/complement to Sign of the Beaver. It is not necessarily easier but it is written from the Native perspective."

Digital Wave 2010

I've just jumped into Digital Wave 2010, and I feel exhilarated and frustrated, energized and depleted, curious and skeptical. I love learning and find this Digital Wave especially challenging, mostly because I am not sure how it fits into library media and literacy studies at the lower levels (elementary grades). Like many, I am somewhat addicted to surfing the web and in doing so, find so many of its resources to be supportive yet also overwhelming. As I 'surf' the web, I am constantly…See More

"If librarians check out me on Twitter, maybe they can offer me some suggestions of how to make Twitter of value to a lower school librarian...or should I just use it for brief author/new book announcements, booktalks, etc?"

Ginny,
I run out of time EVERY day - so much I want to still explore and learn and yet the day is done. Learning with technology takes time, and I never feel I've mastered it. There is always one more thing which leads to just one more "other" thing. However, we have summer for this very reason. Hope you had a nice weekend.
:) Smiling...Syl
