A number of folks I’ve bumped into lately ask me why I stopped blogging. I haven’t.  I  simply can’t maintain both of my blogs, work, travel, and have a life.  So, while I may continue to post in this blog occasionally, I have an obligation to post on SLJ space.  So please, please link to NeverEnding [...]

Just posted my five top reasons for blogging the research process.  Check it out in my SLJ post.

The 2nd annual K12 Online virtual conference is just about a month away. Make sure you attend, or attend the conference archive. The event is completely free. Important thinkers and dreamers and practitioners will present. Connect yourself with their visions of how our schools are evolving, how learning is changing. Because the presentation [...]

I finally posted a very belated BlogDay celebration on my SLJ Blog. (Their software and my Mac just don’t seem to get along.) Anyway, forgive my cheat. The occasion gave me an excuse to promote some of the wonderful bloggers in the school library world instead of the recommended stretching beyond. I am [...]

I was about to leave for a day of sightseeing, but two Twitter tweets got my attention this morning. (I am continually amazed at how my network on this ephemeral tool feeds my brain!) First Al Lupton [...]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to report on, and now how to summarize, BLC (Alan November’s Building Learning Communities). I find it a mightily tough challenge. Let’s start by saying ideas were flying. We are on the precipice of dramatic classroom change. An explosion of emerging tools connects us and allows us to [...]

My blog personality is suddenly split.  I blog here, of course.  I now blog for School Library Journal too.  I am thinking that this is more a space where I can blog in my sweats.  At SLJ, the blazer stays on. Anyway . . . I wanted to alert you.  I’ve been thinking a lot more about [...]

Just a heads-up about an interesting debate about to start. My old friend Tom Panelas, from Britannica, wrote to alert me about a discussion Michael Gorman is initiating on the Britannica blogspace.
