Amy Bowllan
International Edublogging Women’s Day 2006
Celebration 4
Amy Bowllan is the LibraTech Director at the Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, NY. Her blog is “Life in The 21st Century.” I love the tagline on her blog, “Even the smallest crayon leaves a mark” She also blogs on the School Library Journal blog, the SLJ blog.
I really appreciate her posts. She blogs about a wide variety of topics, all interesting reads. She is a master at weaving the personal with the professional. That makes her blog stand out. So many of her posts resonate with me but one that stands out was “Teach Students To ASK First.” She was talking about a group of sixth graders in Brooklyn who had written tasteless letters to soldiers. Amy went on to pose her thoughts about students learning the correct way to voice their opinions. She doesn’t just post about events but gives her opinion and possible solutions. That’s proactive. I like it. Plus Amy has a wonderful mom whom I met through blogging. She also talks about relevant issues that are happening and poses questions for us to ponder. Amy makes connections in powerful ways. We need more bloggers like her.
