Hi all! I just got back from PETE&C (education tech. conference) and I'm riding the web 2.0 wave! So much great stuff at this conference. Did anyone else go? Have any insights to share?

I wanted to post the link to the conference Ning - join and have access to conference session information, wikis and discussion areas! http://peteandc2009.ning.com/

Enjoy! ~SAB

I know we all want to promote reading in our schools, which is not always the easiest task. However, I think creating a culture of reading is an achievable goal, especially when you read the [|Suggestions] that other librarians have given through the listserv..
 * On this comment, does anyone in the group do a Battle of the Books "tournament"? We do here at DMS, this is our second year. I was thinking of starting a neighborly school v. school contest - anyone out there interested in taking on the Ironmen next year? ;o)
 * Warrior Run has done Battle of the Books for 3 years now. However, I'm beginning to lose interest in promoting it for several reasons. The same schools always win, the past two years middle school teams have only had two rounds because of an odd number of teams, and the book selection isn't amazing. I would be very interested in participating in a neighborly school v. school contest. The Book Warriors would welcome the challenge ;) ~KSM
