Lots of folks are posting about their plans for the upcoming NECC in Atlanta. While reading Tom Hoffman's weblog this morning I was struck by how true the following statement is... We've got a situation akin to letting the clerks in the purchasing department decide whether or not the books ordered by teachers and librarians are acceptable.

And not only decisions about filtering, but also platform and software issues. Teachers, administrators and community members should be driving these discussions and in all too many districts they are not... I'm looking forward to NECC and the chance to connect with others and learn how they are dealing with these issues...
