I attended the American Library Association's Annual Conference in San Francisco. The trip was wonderful! I had the opportunity to meet a couple of authors that I have been wanting to meet for years. In addition, I participated on a very insightful panel discussion about PH.d candidates of color. The exhibit hall this year was so engaging and I purchased so many things. Here's a couple of pictures from the trip with captions. Enjoy!

CPS Tech Talk, 2015
Chicago Public School's 'TECH TALK 2015'

I had the wonderful opportunity to give a presentation on the use of social media in the classroom. Check out the many wonderful presentations here:
Members of the Behind the Paws Crew attended the CPS Tech Talk Conference!
The students...
- Shot an interview with Howard Tullman, CEO of 1871 Chicago

- Ready to apply what they have learned from this exciting day!
Sometimes I Have to Indulge
Whenever I get a little down time, I read. Lately I've been drawn to the drama in the teen series called, "Rumor Central," by Reshonda Tate Billingsley. There is so much drama in these books for teens and I must admit, I'm hooked!
