I want to give you all a quick update on some of the wonderful speakers that will be at our conference…this is in addition to the authors I updated you on last week!
You can look forward to hearing:
Gail Dickinson – she will be speaking about National Boards and the Library Media Specialist as well as helping us understand the new Standards for the 21st Century Learner.
Annette Lamb and Larry Johnson will be talking about effective ways of using technology.
Joyce Valenza will be one of our keynote speakers and will be talking about school library websites as well as Web 2.0.
Karen Lowe will help us get our collections in line!
Joanne Bongaarts (you heard and loved her last year) will return to tell you about great books!
Professors (experts!) from the School of Library & Information Science who will be speaking include: Dr. Hastings, Dr. Shannon, and Dr. Naidoo. Also be sure to stop by the SLIS Alumni Tea on Thursday, March 13 at 3pm.
Frank Baker and Martha Alewine will be speaking about media literacy and information literacy.
And, there will be so much more – I’m very excited about all of the wonderful sessions that will be presented by our very own SCASL membership! We have a wealth of knowledge out there…be ready to soak it all up! Expect to leave conference feeling POWERful!
Please note! In the Call to Conference, it states that Dr. Ruth Cox Clark will be attending our conference. Unfortunately, she has had to cancel because of a medical reason. But I know you will enjoy all the other wonderful speakers who will be at our conference!
Watch for more updates as the week draws to a close and conference gets closer and closer…
