This is a lot harder than it first appears. I could talk for HOURS, but could not do it in 15 minutes! For this reason, the video is split into two parts...I apologize in advance for the fuzzy focus at times (new camera has a mind of its own, but that is a story that is longer than this video). Thank you for your constructive criticism!

Thank you to all who came to the Mixed Messages workshop at SLMS on Saturday. I hope that you were able to find something in the presentation that you could use in your own libraries. The slideshow and lesson plans are linked below....Visit mannlibrary.org and click on the media tab for the TV commercials and PBS website .

The lesson plan and supporting materials for the Media Literacy - Advertising Unit are all contained at the Intel blog site. Feel free to use, copy and adapt - just give me some credit for the materials! And please send me questions or suggestions via this site! I am always looking for ways to improve the unit.

Thank you to all who attended the Cinderella workshop at BooksAbound yesterday. I hope you got something from the discussion that you can use in your class. Lonna has sent me the name of the book she described to us, which includes Cinderella versions from around the world: Glass slipper, gold sandal : a worldwide Cinderella by Paul Fleischman It is listed in the Barnes and Noble store site with reviews.... Thank you, Lonna!

If you like cool new Social Networking tools, check out this Power Point I found on SlideShare . Skip to about slide 7, and there are some great examples of new, collaborative sites that help you find information on just about ANY topic from dog breeds to literacy, find a social event in your area, post videos to websites, play with maps and get product recommendations from buyers. There is just SO much information out there being shared! Definitely these sites will help us share the knowledge of the world!

This is an awesome video! A little scary and amazing!
