I must be getting old. I was weeding the reference shelves and started with the “professional reading” materials (which was easy since they were in the 011’s). Usually these materials are a good cure for insomnia. However, while reviewing the ones specifically geared to teens, I found some really interesting things. Anyway, if you are interested, talk to Zach as I have passed them on to him. I am including a website that could be of interest to our teens so any of you can point them in this direction. For teens interested in actually talking with authors, go to the YA Author’s Café:
http://www.connectingya.com. Also, check out Patrick Jones’ site for teen info in general:
http://mysite.verizon.net/selimsa803/default.html. And here is an article that lists a slew of sites that I will be visiting on a regular basis. http://pdfs.voya.com/VO/YA2/VOYA200802tag_team_tech.pdf
Feel free to do so as well and use this space to comment on things learned, oddities, ideas, etc.
As you may or may not know, Grace, Wilbert, Aaron and I have been talking about a neat way to engage teens this summer. This is scary – I’m actually getting excited about SRC. It must be the second childhood thing. Or maybe it’s the weather….anyway, I hope it’s contagious and we all get it! It's GAME ON, folks!
Peace-
SO

Going through some of the most recent news articles on WebbAlert I found this cool now-and-then logo posting. WebbAlert is useful because it publishes crumb-sized chunks of information dealing with current tech news that won't produce a lot of blank stares. Seems like it only covers the most prominent stories, like Yahoo's TechWeb articles, but they're not detailed unless you want to click on the links leading to the original story (duh). I haven't had the chance to give the video version a try.
