I would like to put my library on facebook as a page that parents, students, and
community members can become fans. My technology directory is very leary of
allowing this to happen. Does anyone have any policies or procedures set in
writing for their districts?

Subject: Target: novels for myths and legends
=20
The Myths and Legends teacher at my high school would like have his
students read a novel that is centered on famous myths and legends
(Greece, Rome, Indian, Native American, Viking, etc) . I have the Percy
Jackson series, Goddess of Yesterday by Cooney, but need more ideas.
Any help would be appreciated. =20
Thanks!

Subject: Green Eggs Word list + idea for reading aloud
I wanted this too! Only I was thinking I'd have to create it.
=20
When my four-year-old kept pointing out how some pages had many of the =
same words on it, I thought it'd be fun to "Wordle" the whole book=20
or a few of the pages and show the Wordles to first graders to visually =
represent (in another way) how he repeated lots of words to make it =
easier (and fun) for them to read. Then I thought I'd show the Theodore =
Seuss Geisel award on a recent winner and show how authors emulate Dr. =
Seuss's idea today to write more good books for first grade readers!

Birmingham
*A Thousand Never Evers by Shana Burg *
**
*From Kirkus Reviews*
Until now-1963-in Kuckachoo, Miss., Addie Ann Pickett never thought much
about how unfair things are. She just figured that's the way life is, and
she couldn't do anything about it. But she's becoming more aware of the
outside world: Medgar Evers has been shot, four young girls were killed in
Birmingham and now her older brother is missing, a possible victim of racist
violence. Addie Ann has to grow up quickly, use her head and learn to take a
stand for what's right. Burg offers a sensitive portrait of a young girl and
her family, never letting the larger history of the civil-rights movement
overwhelm the particulars of this one place in time. The threat of violence
is palpable, and the relationships among the residents of Kuckachoo-white
and black-are realistically drawn, dramatizing both the legacy of racism and
the hope of community. Addie Ann's story will help young readers realize
that "You're never too young to speak up for justice and lead by your own
example." (author's note, afterword, chronology) (Fiction. 9-12)

Subject: Re: Target: Animoto under 13 students
Dear Rita
This has been discussed at length on the Australian listserv and the strong
consensus was that you DON'T let under-13s join for a variety of reasons.
Firstly, the 13+ restriction is there because it has something to do with US
privacy law. The content of these sorts of sites are not 'censored' and so
students can be exposed to or access stuff this age should not see. That's
why so many Web 2.0 sites are blocked.
Secondly, if the under-13 joins up with false ID and there is an issue, what
will be the ramifications for the teacher who allowed this? What will be
the ramifications for the education authority?
Thirdly, what is the role model and what is it teaching students about
ethical and legal use of the Internet? What will be the flow-over to other
sites such as Facebook?
Here in Australia, our education authorities are responding to the demand to
be able to use basic Web 2.0 tools in class by s-l-o-w-l-y rolling out a
suite of safe tools that operate within the state's networks and are thus
protected. My state's stuff comes online next month so I don't know if it
allows interstate or global access by invitation. But, in the meantime we
look for apps like Photostory, Moviemaker or iMovie to use.

Subject: REVIEW: Coffeehouse Angel
Coffeehouse Angel
by Suzanne Selfors.
Scholastic, 2009.
276 pages.
In this second novel, Selfors has a real gem. Instead of writing yet anothe=
r para-normal vampire or werewolf romance or adventure, Selfors bucks the t=
rend toward dark fiction and writes a sweet novel about a girl, a boy, a fa=
iling coffeehouse, an ailing grandmother, a mute waitress with a secret pas=
t, a small Norwegian-American town, a mean shopkeeper with an agenda, oh, a=
nd an angel. Selfors even pokes fun at the vampire trend, when Katrina thin=
ks,"There are so many stories about girls dating vampires...Angels are supp=
osed to be pure and sinless...It was kind of a relief that I wouldn't have =
to fend off blood-sucking or enchantment on our first date."
Katrina is a likeable girl who helps her grandmother run a small coffeehous=
e called Anna's. The problem is that a new cofffee shop with lattes, mochas=
, and imported coffees has opened across the street and wants to put Anna's=
out of business. Katrina sees a homeless man sleeping the alley behind the=
shop and gives him free coffee and day-old pastry. Little does she know, h=
e's an angel and now must grant her heart's desire. She has a hard time fig=
uring out what her desire is, and the angel won't take "no" for an answer.
Readers will like Katrina and want the best for her and her grandmother. A =
surprise ending will delight. Recommended for YA readers. Those who like hu=
mor and light romance will likely enjoy this read. Grades 7-high school.
