here are a couple of sites I stumbled across:
http://frank.mtsu.edu/~vvesper/dewey2.htm
A Dewey Decimal site to help learn the classifications
http://openid.org/home?aspxerrorpath=/
A site that will allow you to create one log on for multiple sites and help you be organized, not have many log ons/passwords to remember. I found this by accident and don't know much else about it, I was just overwhelmed with all the different accounts to try to remember and use.
http://atn-reading-lists.wikispaces.com/
This was the original list (librarian resources, book links from multiple categories) from Nancy Keane that was created as a wiki--the edit feature has been locked due to misuse. But the list of resources is still very valuable if you are searching for ideas.

another website to help with the overwhelming amount of acronyms, including a category filter (I tried OCLC, LCSH, MARC--they came up, it has everything!)
http://www.acronymfinder.com/

Anyone know how to make the websites we are listing into links? That would be a nice feature, I see the HTML tags---but I don't want to do that!

Chapter two from the text book has several examples of teachers who tried to implement project-based curriculum and were left alone by their colleagues and officials, and they did not give up. Why, because they believed in what they were doing and they believed they were making difference.It seems to me that we, teacher-librarians are pioneers in this journey to the 21st-century, project-based learning approach in which we play a crucial part in promoting collaborative learning, initiating it, and investing time and energy to talk our administrators and colleagues into it. I perceive it as a great privilege.
