I use this site a ton. This is a free site that you can go to in order to create awards for kids. These awards can then be emailed to parents or you can email them to yourself and print them off. I love this site! There are other things on this site to use, but the awards are what I have always used. To get to the awards, click on "Site Awards." Then at the very top of this page, you have a link that will take you to "Make Awards."

You can listen to podcasts of booktalks at this site. This would be great for students who can't seem to find a good book to read. The books chosen are Isinglass Teen Read Award Nominees - this is a teen book award in New Hampshire, but I am sure these books are popular all over!

The ramblings, rants, and thoughts of Gwyneth A. Jones. First runner-up in the 2009 Edublog Awards for Best Librarian/Library Blog, this site is full of ideas, links, and resources for today's teacher-librarian. I really like her straightforward (blunt) style of writing and her passion for today's librarians to stay abreast of emerging technologies.

Nominated for two Edublog awards in 2009, David Truss shares his reflections on education, technology, and learning. A great sense of humor and excellent writing skills make this not only a thought-provoking and informative blog, but also an entertaining one.

Thanks for the site. I really enjoyed this one!

Bright ideas is a blog where school library staff share ideas on how they can use Web 2.0 tools in their library and in their school. Tons of links and resources for book reviews, collaborative tools, Creative Commons websites, cybersafety, e-books and magazines, e-portfolios, feature use of Web 2.0 tools, and much more. This site was the first runner up in the 2009 Edublog Awards for Best Library Blog.
