[LM_NET] Author Share and more

[Jennifer Jamison <jjamison4@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi there,
I am interested in booking an author for the fall and/or spring (read across
america week). Our school is located in Atlantic City, NJ..and I am
wondering if anyone has an author that is coming to the general area that
would be interested in sharing with me. Last year we had Patricia Polacco
(AND SHE WAS AMAZING). This year it would be wonderful to have a K/1 author,
2-4 and 6-8--but that gets pricey.

Next on my list of requests: I am new to setting up a blog..and wanted some
critique..bear with me it is a weak start..and wanted to see what others do
with Edublog.
Our tech person will not permit access to blogs or wikis --but I am going to
try to convince her to unblock my blog..We also use Echalk and she REFUSES
to allow us to use the BLOG feature. I have tried to be reasonable, but it
is so frustrating..but I am not stopping bec/ I thought I would go to the
experts that might have some input on "convincing administration of the
benefits of students/teachers in 2-8 (grades) that can use these features..
DOES ANY librarian out there use Echalk--and if so, I need ideas..
http://mediamama.edublogs.org

Last but not least..what does Target or Hit mean? If I am interested in an
idea or wish to contribute..what is the best course of action.

I am honored to be able to learn from all of you..and feel incredibly
grateful that I got off my tush and renewed my membership to my association
after 3 years of laying low..
