Alice Christie is a retired teacher who has shown how technology can be so useful in the classroom. Her website has endless amount of links to all kinds of resources to use in the classroom and also how to help parents find something for their child in school. I checked out a few different things the the eportfolio and digital pencil. I decided to share about Library Thing because it has be the most amazing site I have ever come across!
In short, Library Thing is a site you can put in the book you or your class is reading and find other people around the world who is reading the same thing! It is kind of like match making, but on an educational level. You can enter in all the books that you have read in the data base and other people can find you based on that. You can even collaborate with someone else to share all the books that you have read. You can also rate and write reviews to the books. This would be a great tool to use in the classroom because this can encourage kids to read more if they can see what other people are saying about it. And they do not have to use it just for books they read in school. It can also be from books they read in their free time. That data base is endless. They are working with over 470,000 users and 30 million books!
