    Awww Shucks Kelly - glad your still finding this useful....nice photo flip - ok so I found a video you'd like but first I must tell you - just yesterday I got tickets to go see TMBG at a small little club where they'll be playing FLOOD in its entirety. There are some perks to this NYC thing.

    Re: your profile - have you considered the Graphic Novel version of the Bible - duhh?

    Also found this Graphic Novel at a weirdo comic shop - not clear if it is getting US distribution:

    and lastly a video for you....

    So as you know I'm just learning this Ning thing myself - I think you just follow Frank Baker's lead - you can just blog or you can do like Erika and Kristin did and start your own discussion thread in the "forum" under one of the catagories I've already created - whichever mode you think would be most applicable and useful for the group as a whole - I'm going to try and highlight things one of these weeks so that if people don't check new posts the bouncing blog will direct people to it.... I honestly don't know yet which way makes more sense...

    BTW have you seen the new Mini-Marvels series -

    the little dudes will HEART them.

    I know nothing about that film and I guess Amazon sent me a promo e-mail - they must have decided - if you like books you might like THE LIBRARIAN (sounds dirty, eh?)

    Post away - can't wait to see what you've got!

    Hey Kelly, I posted another video, it is a new teacher sample for our media project. Students should be finished with their projects later this month.

    Kelly,
    It sounds like you're a school librarian - I'm looking for stories about use of media by school librarians for a chapter I'm writing...?
  • Debbie Abilock

    I'm interested in use of media, Web 2.0 for curriculum-related purposes - what kind of projects/activities are you doing related to reading, information literacy...or ?
  • Debbie Abilock

    Hi Kelly,
    It looks like we should have a more substantive conversation - I'd love to know more about all of them. I'll be at ALA until July 15th - can I call you after that?
  • Debbie Abilock

    Let's do it!
  • Ryan Goble

    Hey Kelly - can you post your street lit links in the A lit discussion forum and maybe copy and paste them in the librarian group. Those resources are too good to get buried on the comment wall! Hope you're cool! RRG:)
  • Peter Gutierrez

    Hey Kelly, I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago but I'm not sure you're getting any of them from me or that I even have the correct address. Also posted to your FB wall...

    Can you confirm that you got the email? Thanks!!
  • Ryan Goble

    Hey Kelly,

    I dunno if you were following this one discussion but those folks wrote you back with a ?!!

    You rule!
