Thing 14 - Library Thing

I think Library Thing is a wonderful tool to help students and teachers find books based on reviews, tags/subjects, ratings and other options. At this time, we provide suggestions based on personally read books as well as reading lists for particular classes. This tool offers insight to books that my assistants and I have not read, but others have. This tool offers suggestions to students who are reluctant readers as well as keeping students reading who have trouble finding books they like. This tool would be great to design a MHS teen list of books read and recommended by MHS students. What a great way to promote reading but by your own peers.

I do agree on the uses of Library Thing. It seems to be universally accepted by folks in 23 Things and others. I hope you will be able to use it at school.

You are moving right along & should be done in a short time.
