Building a PLN for Chaplains

The National Lutheran Chaplains Conference is into its last day.
On Wednesday, I presented about how to develop a PLN (Personal Learning Network) for Chaplains.

This is my JSSALC wiki page with the resources and see below for the prezi!

Hopefully a few ideas were useful for the participants and I have gained a few more people to follow on twitter! See you in the twitterverse. Thanks for the experience (see #luthchap2011 on twitter)!

PS: See the tweet cloud @ visible tweets.

Little Mates series

We are collecting the Little Mates books from Scholastic. These cute little books are a lovely way to introduce alliteration or focus on a letter (i.e. A). We are up to the letter C.

Another wonderful thing about these books is they are based around Australian animals and settings. Perfect. Highly recommended for little bodies.
