Teacher. Consultant. Lifelong Learner.

I 've been experimenting with online social libraries, a place to track,  rate, and write reviews for books I read.  I can also join or create groups (both public and private) to discuss books. Imagine the possibilities with our students: talk about informing choice and giving them an avenue to discuss texts! So far, I've created accounts at three different libraries. You might want to create your own library. It's FREE. And fun!

 

My favorite site is goodreads: the site is easy to use and visually appealing. Notice my goodreads widget in the sidebar and atop this page. Visit my goodreads page to learn more about using goodreads with your students.

 

 

• my library on LibraryThing.com:

  I've upgraded ($20 lifetime fee) my account

  and am using it to catalogue my classroom

  library. It saves me hours inventorying

  books each year.

• Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog

  I just recently created an account with

  Shelfari because their visuals are incredible.

  You can scroll through all the books I've

  catalogued, beginning with the most recent.

  It looks like a real bookshelf!
