LibraryThing
This isn't an official post, but I was excited because I was able to put a LibraryThing widget on the sidebar of this blog. I've had a LibraryThing account for a year or two (I created it for my minor, School Library Media) and have been trying to keep it current. I include books I've read for school and other projects, and books I've read for recreation. Honestly, I love looking at all the covers and remembering what I've read. I think LibraryThing, or something comparable like Shelfari, would be a great site for students to use. Besides looking at all the pretty covers-they can also write reviews of the books, check out other people's comments, get recommendations, create tags, and so much more.

I just noticed this posting and the widget. Kenneth was telling me about how, at the "meet your principal" thing, a principal said that his last question was always, "What are you reading?" and he wanted his teachers to read books like Twilight and Hunger Games so they can connect to their students. He also wants them to post on their walls the books that they are currently reading. I think if you kept a personal blog of what you were reading, with a cool widget like that, you could show your students that Ms. Anderson is really a reader. I'm sure many of them would read and comment on your blog as well.
