Gosh, I’ve been busy. So much to update!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, I spent the beginning of last week at LACUE, our state technology conference. Good times! I really enjoy presenting — I mean I get to be the center of attention, I get to spread my ideas, I get to try to be clever and witty to see if I can get a few laughs.<\/p>\n

Really, though, it was a successful presentation. My session was called “Favorite FREE Tech Tools,” and my links and resources can be found on my presentation wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to do more presenting in the future and I also would love to do multiple presentations at LACUE 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I came back from the conference on December 1st which was an exciting day — our FIRST\u00c2\u00a0ever author visit at the CMS library! Louisiana author Diana Rowland<\/a> came for an after\u00c2\u00a0school meet-and-greet, where she talked about her writing process and publication. Diana is good people! The students loved her! After, my ELA friend and I took her out for dinner and we had a blast. Such a great day!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is Diana’s most recent novel. Isn’t the cover insane?! Despite the fact that I was a bit hesitant about diving into this zombie novel, I really LOVED it! Even though the novel is definitely a high school level, a few of my more mature readers have gobbled it up like a jar of brains (hehe, I couldn’t resist!).<\/p>\n

I’m so glad that we were able to introduce this amazing author to our students, particularly those that have an interest in writing!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had a slamming TL Virtual Cafe Library World Smackdown on Monday which ROCKED! If you missed it, you can check out the archive here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And now, the best for last…I’m nominated for an Edublog Award in the “Best use of audio\/video\/podcast” category!! I’m so excited and so HONORED to be included in the rockstar crowd that is the Edublog Award nominees! And I’m not going to lie or be all full of fluff…of course I want to win! If you haven’t before, please check out the MightyLittleLibrarian’s YouTube Channel<\/a>. If you like it and are so inclined, VOTE FOR ME<\/a>! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I will admit, though, that there are some friends of mine that are MUCH more deserving that I am of an Edublog Award. The Daring Librarian<\/a> is SO VERY deserving of so many categories, including “Best Library\/Librarian Blog” and “Best Educational Wiki.” AND it’s time that we get out there and vote to give Joyce Valenza<\/a> the “Lifetime Achievement” award for everything she’s done for our profession!<\/p>\n

So there ya go, my friends! It’s been a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
