[CALIBK12] CALIBK12: Conference

[Pilling, George]

And if you get there early Saturday morning, you can hear some stories
at 8 AM - my Storytelling to meet the Standards presentation is for all
grades and has no PowerPoint! No technology at all! Amazing!

Hi all,
If your district is not allowing you release time for the conference
next week in Sacramento, I urge you to try to come on Saturday or Sunday
(or both!). There are so many exciting things going on over the weekend.
Janet Melikian has worked on an incredible line-up of concurrent
sessions and I have arranged for some awesome authors to be there on the
weekend including Hope Anita Smith, Barbara Kerley, Ellen Hopkins, Ying
Compestine, and Erin Dealey. On Sunday Ron Koertge and Jay Asher will be
on the Intellectual Freedom panel and also on Sunday there will be an
Illustrator panel with M. Sarah Klise, LeUyen Pham and Matt Faulkner. I
am excited about this new panel offering.
 
I know it is hard to choose which sessions to attend, but I would like
to make one suggestion--Ann Crewdson (Saturday at 1:00). She and I were
are the ALA GISK (Great Interactive Software for Kids) Committee
together and she is really an expert on gaming in libraries. Of course,
there are so many other sessions from which to choose!
 
Further, Saturday night we have the CYRM banquet with Gennifer Choldenko
and on Sunday Rosemary Wells will be our speaker for the
Author/Illustrator brunch. Lori Lim has lined up some wonderful authors
and illustrators for each table.
 
See you soon, I hope.
