Thing 16 - The Library Thing!

I LOVE books!!!

This is an incredibly cool and useful site for fellow book lovers, researchers, educators and students.
Its utility is boundless! Here's ONE suggestion:
  1. Assign a book to students
  2. Have students search Library Thing for the title
  3. After reading the book they can join and post personal thoughts/reactions
  4. Then, have them find a "similar" book to read :)

Did I tell you the cool thing I learned about Library Thing? You can sign up to be an Early Reviewer, and if chosen they will send you a book to review....for free!

Oh yeah, I wrote about it in my other blog.

Never mind.
