WYBMND 2.0 – Celebrate Mr. Rogers and Neighbors on March 20th

To celebrate Mr. Rogers and continue his work – the folks at Family Communications celebrate each year with Sweater Day and a whole week of activities about neighbors. March 20, 2009 is Sweater Day. You… Read the rest

December 7, 2008 Lindsay

Image by striatic via FlickrLast week, I listened to something on NPR about what the future of libraries will look like (I can’t find a link to the story anywhere – if you remember what program this was on let me know).  It was pretty exciting to hear about ideas for how libraries will function in the future – think less books, more shared tools like podcast studios and meeting spaces. I back in October, as this group organized a photo scavenger hunt as part of their research on playgrounds. Learn more about what Carnegie Mellon University‘s ETC program is… Read the rest
