ALA Conference
I will be blogging during my free time at ALA both for the new AASL Blog and for myself. The official AASL blog doesn’t allow us to discuss the schwag and the exhibit halls, but sometimes I make the best contacts in there. From discussions with publishers in the past, we were able to organize our TASL Forum this year.
I am greatly looking forward to attending AASL functions - especially Affiliate Assembly and the legislative advocacy meetings. Here is my initial itinerary of meetings:

Don’t you find it amazing that we adults utilize the new technologies to keep in touch and let others know where we are, yet we absolutely freak out when our students attempt similar tactics?
