AASL Conference in Reno, NV

I'm on my fourth session today at the AASL. It is really exciting to learn about the WEb 2.0. There is such opportunity to publish and express online. It is a bit depressing because I think of our situation back home and we are so behind, terribly. I am listening to folks in the technology field from around the country and how districts are committed to staffing all schools with certified professional Library Media Specialists. But not in Oakland. People are astonished to learn that our Librarians are contracted or paid for by the PTA. When is our district going to wake up?
