Summary of SLMS Conference



          I was very fortunate to receive a DCMO SLS scholarship to  
attend this year’s School Library Media conference: Educational  
Leaders @ Your Library.  Not only did I spend three days immersed in  
the culture of school libraries and literacy, I attended excellent  
workshops and came away energized and inspired to enhance my library  
program.  Thank you, Chuck O’Bryan and SLS, for helping librarians  
grow professionally and build library programs that support all  
students and schools.



The most useful way to share conference highlights is to suggest the  
websites below (all gathered from conference presenters).  Our  
combined knowledge is staggering!  Enjoy!



* del.icio.us bookmarks – Very easy way to share your bookmarks and  
online resources with teachers, librarians and students.

* http://www.crbsls.org/information-fluency/index.html - Capital  
Region BOCES SLS: entire K-12 standards-based library curriculum!  Why  
reinvent the wheel?

* http://animoto.com/business/education/ - Set up an educator’s  
account and create thought-provoking, stimulating videos in minutes.   
Very cool tool!

* http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ - Check out ALL that Google  
can do for you.  Many great tools, including: iGoogle, Scholar,  
Calendar, Docs, etc…

* http://www.planetesme.com/ - Webpage for SLMS keynote speaker, and  
self-proclaimed readiologist, Esme Raji Codell.  A very entertaining  
and strong advocate for children’s reading.  Check her out!
