In addition to working on state and national-level grant projects, she enjoys spending time with administrators, teachers, and individual school districts, universities, and museums focusing on practical, technology-rich approaches to teaching and learning.

Annette received her Ph.D. in Educational Technology from Iowa State University. Her roots in library, media, and technology are reflected in her passion for interdisciplinary approaches, reading and writing across the curriculum, and using a variety of resources from books to the Internet.



Annette's numerous articles and over a dozen books are valuable resources for educators. Her popular website, Eduscapes.com, includes a wide range of award-winning, free resources for educators. Her latest book co-authored with Danny Callison is titled Graphic Inquiry.

Annette has written a regular column (6 issues per year) in Teacher Librarian journal for the past 17 years focusing on connecting literature for youth with technology and practical classroom activities and discussions. Her articles weave in new titles including both fiction and nonfiction for youth. In addition to her work with literature for youth, she also writes about young adult to adult cross-over books.

In addition, she's working on a new column that features adult titles that encourage educators to be life-long readers in their subject areas. The focus is on “new content” and "nontraditional ways" of exploring traditional themes through emerging information, cutting-edge research, and lesser-known connections.

Over the past several years, she has managed the social media presence for the journal, Teacher Librarian where she shared books for children, young adults, adult-cross over titles, and and subject-area titles for educators. She's written over 1000 reviews for various social media platforms such as LibraryThing, GoodReads, and School Library Bridge.
