Things 12, 13 & 14

Week of February 27-March 6

12. Take a look at LibraryThing and catalog some of your favorite books.

13. Check out Ning. There are lots of educators on Ning. This tool lets you create your very own social network space! Create your own space, and invite some of your colleagues or classmates to join! Blog about ways you think this tool might be used in your classroom.

14. Learn about social bookmarking then create a Del.icio.us account and add and tag some Web 2.0 sites.

  1. I spent some time on LibraryThing yesterday and love the idea of having an online catalogue of my books. It opens up so many more possibilities for books I may be interested in based on the books in my personal library...kind of the netflix of books. I have been using Delicious sporadically for about a year now and same thing, I love to get a sense of what others are tagging and viewing on line- mostly in education and technology.

  2. I love LibraryThing. I am a nerd and love to read. I really like the fact that the books are rated by the readers and can give me some ideas of what books I might want to read next. I also like the fact that I can keep track of what I already read b/c I can't remember from one week to the next. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I went on Ning, but the site was down. I will try again later. Delicious is interesting. I need to spend some more time on it to see it's full capabilities.

  3. I love Library Thing! Reading is my favorite hobby and I can see that I would use that a lot in the future.
