Extractions: High Point (NC) Enterprise SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "D/G offers 10- to 15-year-old girls a welcome alternative to the passive presentation of information found in many children's magazines. Its poems, stories, and personal narratives by young poets and writers explore a variety of situations and emotions and, best of all, the writings encourage girls to explore and express themselves through the written word. There's one more reason this magazine is such a dream: it's completely ad-free" ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION: "Besides shoring up the cultural interests of teenage girls, this radically rich magazine gives lots of young writers, poets, artists and photographers the incomparable thrill of seeing their work published for the first time."

Extractions: The Development of School Libraries in South Carolina The following speech was delivered by Margaret Ehrhardt on March 31, 1988 as the Third Annual Deans' Lecture of the University of South Carolina College of Library and Information Science. Ms. Ehrhardt was Supervisor of School Library Services for the South Carolina State Department of Education from 1970 until the early 1980s. THE CRUCIAL YEARS: SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS The years 1945-1985 were crucial years for school library programs, not only in South Carolina, but for the nation as well. The ALA Handbook for 1944 showed that only 15 states had school library supervisors. It was interesting to note that seven of these were Southern states, including North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Tonight I should like to explore with you some of the significant events that have helped to shape the development of school library media programs in our state. The first significant factor was the employment by the State Department of Education of the first Supervisor of Library Services. It is seldom that one can pinpoint the beginning of a library media program, but this is not true of school library media services in South Carolina. The date was March 29, 1946, and the time was 11:00. It was then that an announcement was made to the School Library Section of the South Carolina Education Association which was in session at University High School here in Columbia that the State Department of Education had received a grant from the General Education Board (of the Rockefeller Foundation) to employ a Library Supervisor. This was the first attempt to bring structure into what had been haphazard library development in the schools.

Extractions: June 25, 2001, 7:00 am ET Palm may be giving away $2.3 million in technology grants to US K-12 schools and colleges, but the company may make some serious money with the announcement that an independent school system outside of Winston-Salem, NC, became the first K-12 school in the U.S. to require the use of Palm handhelds in its high school and to pilot their use among students as young as first grade. The school system is Forsyth Country Day School . The announcement was made at this week's National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in Chicago. Assistant Headmaster Eric Peterson said that students returning to school in August will find "something extra" in their registration packets: a Palm IIIc handheld, portable keyboard, and a suite of software applications. "Part of the appeal is the mobility of Palm handhelds, enabled and empowered by wireless technologies built into the product," said Mike Lorion, vice president of education markets at Palm. "This is the first time a K-12 school in the United States has mandated the use of handheld technology in its school and made the commitment to use it in a range of academic and administrative areas." Forsyth Country Day School is working with Palm and third-party developers to choose an appropriate set of software applications to be used by students and faculty across the curriculum. In addition to issuing Palm handhelds to the high school students, classroom sets of Palms will be used in science and math classes in the middle and elementary grades. The school also plans to integrate handhelds into its new science, math and academic support centers.

Extractions: That said, the recent bioterrorism events in our community have challenged both our medical care and public health systems, including our laboratories. There are areas of the country where the laboratory systems have been completely overwhelmed. Fortunately, state and local laboratorians, as well as CDC staff, have helped provide surge capacity. These challenges have made it clear that public health and clinical laboratories need to have well-established relationships and processes to ensure rapid detection and to provide timely and accurate information. While CDC can help provide leadership and technical assistance, the implementation must take place at the state and local level. While we will be focusing on addressing bioterrorism, many public health problems require high quality laboratory testing. Initiatives such as emerging infectious diseases, the epi and laboratory strengthening program, the Food Safety Initiative, and the current bioterrorism program all rely heavily on a system that requires integration of the clinical and public health labs.

Extractions: Teaching and Learning Word 97 .PDF l Teaching, Learning, Media, and Technology "Educational technology has demonstrated a significant positive effect on achievement." (SIIA 1999) "Research shows the highest achieving students come from schools with good school libraries." (Lance 1993) Media and technology programs should focus on student achievement and involve the entire staff in planning instructional programs that are enriched by high-quality resources and state-of-the-art technology. A learner-centered approach to instruction focuses attention on media and technology programs as vital instructional forces that expand, support, and complement classroom learning. The integration of media and technology programs with instruction is the joint responsibility of teachers, administrators, students, support staff, parents, and media and technology professionals working together to accomplish objectives that support desired outcomes for students. Media and technology programs should incorporate collaboration, information access, staff development, and public relations, all of which contribute to the success of teaching and learning. Contributing to Teaching and Learning Success Media and technology programs can contribute to the success of teaching and learning by incorporating the following: l Collaboration for Instruction
