IAre you musically inclined or like to act? f you answered yes to any these questions, check out the following contest! I know this school could put together some rockin' projects. Come see Ms. Dinneen in the library if you're interested....or better yet, respond to this blog post. It gets lonely just writing for myself - I'd love to hear from you!
How Do YOU BookJam?

Welcome!
Hey, Greyhounds! I'm so glad you found your way to the Johnston MS Library blog. You'll find some stuff that is new, some stuff that I wrote a couple of years ago, and some stuff that I need your input on.
As you scroll through the blog, you'll find some postings about books, some examples of technology and some interesting links to help you find other books to read. Take a minute to read through and check out the links...you might find a book that's been out for a couple of years that you didn't know about.
I love to play with new technology and there are some great "free" programs. I'd like to share that knowledge with you, so if you're interested in learning how to create book trailers or "Glogs" or talking avatars, let me know. I'd love to explore some of these media with the creative students at JMS.
That's it for know.....Ms. Dinneen
