Thing 16: Library Thing Experience

What a fantastic site…I must admit that being the mother of a 7 year old and working full time doesn’t really give me much time for reading. I read my journals and some magazines but I just have not found the time to get back to novels. Not that I live under a rock or anything, just part way, as I’ve been engrossed in the world of Disney, Nick Jr and so forth.  Therefore, it was a little challenging searching for books. On the titles I searched, I found the reviews to be interesting and helpful. I could see making a classroom or grade level group, where students can discuss books inside and outside of school. I work with elementary aged students so I am constantly looking for safe environments for students to utilize collaborative skills. I will definitely share this site with my colleagues. Professionally, I could see setting up a book group for our district in which we share books on both a professional and personal nature. What a great find! Thanks for sharing.

PS – While searching for books and reviews, I stumbled onto a cool new website for elementary students called LittleClickers. A really cool thing about this course is that you can’t predict what interesting new tools and gadgets you will discover.
