Thing # 22: Nings

I am a Ning convert. What a good way to keep up with library information and ideas as well is to network. I joined two Nings: The Teacher Librarian and Texas School Librarians. I have already reaped benefits. I liked the book report below (creative animation with moving mouth). I wrote to the creator, Doug Valentine, and he told me that he uses a program called "Crazy Talk." You must buy the program, but Doug says it is well worth it.
