Okay...Skype is really cool. Modern technology never ceases to amaze me. It just blows my mind that two classrooms millions of miles away can communicate with each other face to face. Using Skype in PE class may be a challege with the number of students involved but I think it would be easy for the regular classroom teacher to be able to incorporate it into their lessons. I really liked the idea of the librarians being able to Skype the authors. With budget cuts and travel expenses as they are, Skype can bring the authors without the cost. It may not be as "personable" as an author visit, but it couold work as an alternative plan.
After filling out the required information, I found that there is only 1 entry for Physical Education and it is in spanish, so I am out of luck at this point. But will keep checking to see if more entries become available.

When I visited Libro Island, Captain Griffith required us to visit several library sites and search to see which we our favorites. After searching through the sites, I decided that there were two that stood out to me.
I liked the: http://http//www.schoollibraryjournal.com/csp/cms/sites/SLJ/Home/index.csp and the http://www.txla.org/.
On the School Library Journal web-site, I liked the blog section that allowed for visitors to be able to post their comments about books that they had read. This helps the reader get a quick glance at the comments of various readers and helps the reader decide if their interest has been peaked.
I was surprised to find out that I could type in Physical Education in the search box and find articles relating to PE. I assumed that there would only be "library" information on this website.
On the Texas Library Association web-site, I liked the reading list section. I had no idea that there were so many awards/lists. This section breaks up the books by grade levels, which makes it easy to find your readers level. There are also numerous books listed on each of these awrdsd lists. I did not know all these lists exsisted, I only knew about the Blue Bonnet list.
