Week 8 #19

Library Thing is a great way to keep track of all the books I've read. It was easy to create my list with Amazon.

Here is the link to my booklist.

Week 8 #18

I set up an account in Zoho writer. I've written 3 articles and it's was very easy. Unfortunately I've been unsuccessful at sending an article from Zoho to my blog :(

Wikis

idea #21 Create a wiki for a library book club so readers can share thoughts, questions and comments immediately and not wait for weekly or monthly meetings. Students who miss meetings can have opportunity to share as well as shy readers who might not speak-up as well as they "post".

This year we're trying to put together a book club in the school library. This looks like a great tool to support this project.

Week 6 #15

1. I really enjoyed "The Ripple Effect" and the helpful list that was at the end of the article. (I'd like to send this on to our school district)
2. I read many of the articles on library 2.0. Its amazing how much has changed in the past couple years and what is predicted for the internet's future. I've also read and heard many people talk about libraries becoming obsolete in the future...which I disagree with especially at public schools. Many students at our school still don't have computers and the internet in their homes. Our school library is a free place where any student can come to relax from a busy day and read. They can ask for help with homework, use the computers, and navigate the web. I hope this will still be available to my grandkids and all students in the future.
   

Week 6 #14

Amazing how many blogs are out there! Technorati search works great when you use the advance search. It took me awhile to find "Advance search" which was above the general search in small letters. (One of my discoveries is...after looking at the computer for hours I think I now need glasses)
Tagging is really important especially when looking for a certain conversation on a certain subject. Spelling helps too!!!

Week 6 #13

Del.icio.us is wonderful! I have an account and will use this daily. Library Thing was also very interesting.
