Week 5, Thing 11

I was really intrigued with the Ning network. So much so, in fact, that I created my own link: http://tigerbookclub.ning.com/ in which I set up a method for students to participate in a book talk about popular middle school novels. I made it private in order to comply with district online safety standards and I plan to create the invite list once I collaborate with the campus reading teachers in late August. Ning is a wonderful tool for teachers.

I also visited the Web 2.o Awards website where I explored http://www.biblio.com/ which provides a method of ordering rare and out-of-print books. I found this site particularly useful because there are so many hard-to-find books that I want.
