Dr. Annette Lamb has been a school library media specialist, computer teacher, and professor of education and library science. She is currently teaching online graduate courses for librarians and educators as a professor at Indiana University - Indianapolis (IUPUI).
In addition to online teaching, she writes, speaks, and conducts professional development workshops, presentations, and keynotes throughout North America and is well-known for her realistic approaches to technology integration and information inquiry. 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 articles and over a dozen books are valuable resources for educators. “Building Treehouses for Learning: Technology in Today’s Classrooms” is used in many teacher education programs. She often writes with her husband Larry Johnson. Annette and Larry co-author a column in Teacher Librarian focusing on current issues related to information and educational technology. Recent articles include topics such as social technology, social networking, podcasting, web feeds, interactive technology, collaborative technology, and wikis. Their popular website, Eduscapes.com, includes a wide range of award-winning, free resources for educators including 42explore, Teacher Tap, Literature Ladders, Activate, Naturescapes, Multimedia Seeds, and Escrapbooking.
Larry and Annette are a unique husband and wife team. After many years teaching, they sent their kids to college, sold the house, and moved into a 38-foot motor home. They've been "on-the-road" since 1999 using the satellite on their RV for high speed Internet access for online teaching. Between the two of them, they offer eight online courses for teachers, technology coordinators, and librarians.
