Escobedo Library Blog

I have been fortunate to have been asked to provide a training about blogs during Staff Development Day to the CCSD Middle and High School Librarians. This post is for those librarians that attended the training.

The goal for the training is to allow Librarians the time to understand the basics of blogging, explore blogs created by educators, and determine how they see blogs fitting into their Library.

1. Visit the blogs of Librarians online. Determining how you see blogging fitting into your Library.
