Make sure it adds value...

I drove 4 of us to the RA 2.0 (Adult Reading Round Table) program the other day in Schaumburg and I knew all of the jargon (thnx ELL!).  Having lived much of this info in the whirlwind of ELL, it was good to hear some additional applications for some of these tools and also be reminded that this is where we are right now (and we're all there).

Some good ideas for Children's - bibliographies up on wikis, a Caudill wiki, reading suggestion forms online, blog and youtube ideas...I'm still not sold on twitter, but that's okay because the mantra was make sure it adds value to what you're already doing and that's really something to remember.  

Lots of good conversation in the car, even though we were in boatloads of traffic and we were a little directionally-challenged  -- I was glad to see that someone besides me needs to physically hold the mapquest directions upside down to re-trace our steps and figure out which way to turn!
