In order to bring in 3 guest presenters from across the country, he had to START learning how to use Skype last week and had his real test of a 4-way conference call at the workshop. That was a brave thing to do. His guest speakers were famous school librarians Joyce Valenza of Pennsylvania, Doug Johnson from Minnesota but calling in from Florida, and Cathy Nelson in South Carolina. How 2.0 cool is that? <BR/><BR/>Bottom line is that when I arrived at conference on Thursday morning, I had no idea that I was going to experience an application that would get my brain spinning so fast -- imagine school librarians calling authors, illustrators, or publishers for 15 minute "guest appearances" for a class, book club, or auditorium full of CYRM reader-voters.
