I just found out that our proposal to present at the Tech Conference has been approved! Suzanne Garverick and I will be conducting a workshop entitled “Blogging: A Powerful Tool for Classroom Communication.” It will be on both days of the conference, so if you are in the Memphis area and planning to attend the conference, I hope to see you there.
The Memphis City Schools 14th Annual Technology Conference will held November 6 and 7, 2008 at the Teaching and Learning Academy at 2485 Union Avenue.
This conference gives educators from around Memphis and the Mid-South, public and private,an opportunity to share experiences, best practices and success stories relating to technology integration, data-driven instruction, and the use of imagination and creativity to produce technology-based projects. It will also showcase cutting edge technology that is likely to impact teaching and learning in the future.
Many informative and exciting sessions are being planned that will include the use of practical applications across all grade levels to support all teachers in successfully integrating technology into the classroom.

Laura, I’m looking forward to seeing you and Suzanne at the tech conference. I’ll be doing presentations with two other librarians, Carmen Carr and Kimberly Sanderson. We’re going to cover blogs, wikis, podcasting…from the librarian’s perspective. See you there!
