Comment on Goodbye, Google Directory by Jasmine directory

I think that web directories nowadays are not what they used to be before. I am in this industry since 2002 and web directories were valuable before the 2007 (?) algo update when backlinks from non-relevant sources (especially paid ones) were kicked out of the ecuation. Many of my clients want their websites to be listed in DMOZ, Yahoo dir ($299/year), BOTW and maybe few others. Without some serious money to invest in marketing, manual editing and good service… there is useless to create a web directory. And useless for the submitter, too.

Thanks Joyce! This is perfect since we just got in our iPads and are trying to figure out the type of apps, beyond our favorites, we want to try out.

Comment on Transparency is the new fierce by Judith Comfort

“Transparency is advocacy” has been my mantra for years while fighting the lockdown, barrier-building attitude of my school District. Everything in my common sense and paedagogicall worlds tells me that an open generosity of spirit is the essence of our profession.

When you are no longer in Beta will the rest of the world be able to see you new app or will this be reserved just for your students and staff?

You want to be an app, and I’ll add that “We’re all a little clunky, in beta and in process” is a fine philosophy for a life-as-app. I appreciate you sharing the journey of your library with the wider community. Your efforts towards virtual libraries and digital curation carry us all closer-and not away from- the fundamental role of teacher-librarians.

Comment on “Every survivor has a story to tell.” Introducing IWitness & its 1000 stories by Gayle Kolodny Cole

Thank you for helping us spread the word about IWitness! Your beautifully written blog post came as a wonderful surprise.
Our mission at USC’s Shoah Foundation Institute is to overcome prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry
—and the suffering they cause— through the educational use of the Institute’s visual history testimonies. As the Online Education Specialist working on IWitness, I appreciate your support of this mission.
In the next few days, we will be adding a page to IWitness just for educators, to support the integration of IWitness into classrooms. Just like the rest of IWitness, that page will grow and evolve in response to feedback from users. Please visit, and let us know how we are doing!
