Getting Started in Idaho Shirley Biladeau 2008-02-07T16:21:32Z 2008-02-07T16:21:32Z

This week, Gina, Erin and I presented the first three workshops in Southwestern Idaho. And in addition, the weather has decided that this year is going to be a snowy year! So we have had lots of adventures getting to our three sites.<br /><br />On the workshop front, they have all been well attended and everyone has enjoyed the information. Lots of networking with community leaders and each other.<br /><br />At one workshop, a school librarian brought a teacher colleague who works with the Spanish&#045;speaking students &#045;&#045; together they have developed a great game plan to address the issues of these students incorporating technology and the library.<br /><br />Yesterday after the third workshop, I was unloading materials and putting things away when a workshop participant &#045; who had been in Monday&#039;s workshop and was at the Commission picking up some other materials, stopped me and excitedly related how she had connected with a community leader and they had great things planned.<br /><br />We still have 6 more workshops planned between now and the end of March &#045;&#045; I expect we will continue to see the enthusiasm build as we criss&#045;cross the state.<br /><br />Shirley
