Social reading -- sounds exciting. I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a class group textbook online. SO like you go online to yoru textbook for your class and you can see what other classmates have highlighted and commented on and tagged and add your own thoughts to the discussion. They can link to their blog posts about a subject in teh book that they did expanded self-directed learning on or just that they thought about more, etc. Sounds SUPER cool, huh?
