Free Technology for Teachers: Inspire Students to Read and Travel With The Global Books... - 1 views

  • Inspire Students to Read and Travel With The Global Bookshelf The Global Bookshelf is a book search and recommendation engine that was started by my friend Gillian Duffy. The purpose of The Global Bookshelf is to help people find travel stories. The books you'll find aren't travel guides, they're travel stories that could inspire you to visit a new place and experience a new culture. You can browse The Global Bookshelf by region, genre, and book format (Kindle, PDF, physical book). Applications for Education Gillian is very keen to have others add their book reviews to The Global Bookshelf. If you have high school students who have read some travel narratives, consider having them write a review to share on The Global Bookshelf. This is a great way to provide an authentic audience for your students' work.

Against YA: Adults should be embarrassed to read children's books. - 4 views

  •  
    This is a very interesting article that appeared last week and has created a lot of comment online. There is quite a backlash against it including an article in the current Listener saying that there is no 'should' in reading for pleasure. I am firmly of the opinion that any reading is GOOD reading and won't apologise for what I read!
