SocialBooks - I continue to read and follow new aspects inregard to ereaders and ereading. The following link is an app coming soon to The App Store. The premise of this is being able to read a book together with a friend or in an online book club and share reactions to the story or making notes or highlighting excerpts with those reading online too. This is a way to make ereading social. Check out the video found on this site to learn more about SocialBooks! (This is a YouTube video so you will need to access it outside of school.) http://www.getsocialbooks.com/

this is an interesting concept and when applied to schools could reshape the way that we approach and think about things. We sort of already do this with the way that we rent out our buildings to various groups. What if we did the same for staff. RentAPrincipal.com or rentATeacher.com. I might be onto something!
Neat blog . . . I subscribed to it. I also enjoyed the bit on the ereader. Both Jacob and I are really enjoying ours. :)
