Back from CUE

Hello Fellow Librarians and Library Staff:

I have been away at the CUE (computer using educators) conference in Palm Springs. It was a wonderful conference. I met some amazing people and have lots to share with everyone. I met Glen Warren from the OCDE, Dr. Lesley Farmer, from CSULB's LMT program, and many ed tech experts from all over California and the U.S. There were only a few librarians at this technology conference, but we sought each other out.

Just as a reminder, I know everyone is very busy, but I hope that more of our Blog Authors will contribute to this blog, as Nikki Imai from Sage Hill did recently. Thank you Nikki!!

There are some things in the works that I will be discussing with all of you soon. The OCDE has plans to form a coalition of Orange County school librarians, and they want our help. Plus, I am looking to form a cohort of 20 schools from So Cal to be part of the PLP Network program. If you are interested, please contact me, and join JSerra in this endeavor. The cohort would begin fall 2009 and last throughout the academic year.

hope all is well with all of you.
